Tentis - 

Frank J. Tentis, a native of Wabasha County, who is engaged in operating 
a farm of 220 acres in Watopa Township, was born in Glasgow Township, 
October 17, 1895, son of John and Mary (Seiwart) Tentis. He acquired his 
education in the school of the district, and until the age of 16 years 
remained on the home farm, assisting his father. Then he and his brothers 
bought 360 acres in Glasgow Township, where he did general farming and 
stock raising until 1911. In that year Frank J. sold his interests to 
his brothers. In 1916 he worked at the carpenter's trade, and in 1917 
and 1918 was employed in a garage. He then resumed farm work for a year. 
In 1919 he rented his present farm of 220 acres in Watopa Township, and 
is here doing a good business as a general farmer and stock raiser. He 
is a member of the Catholic church, and fraternally of the Modern Woodmen 
of America. Mr. Tentis was married November 25, 1919, to Myrtle Cox, 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles T. Cox, of Highland Township, this county.
Mrs. Tentis' father is now deceased, having passed away May 18, 1916, but 
her mother is still living in Highland Township. Mr. and Mrs. Tentis are 
the parents of a daughter, Rachel J.
