PA.271  He was buried on 14 Oct 1810 in Prospect Hill Cem.York, PA (Moravian Sec).  He was a farmer, miller, constable.  He was christened in Lutheran.  Owned 300 acre farm in Dover Twp.York, York Co, PA from which he retired.

He died intestate.

 

At the death of his father, in 1749, George inherited 100 acres & bought 200 more.  He added to it until he owned much land, both in Manchester and Dover Twps - he also owned a mill, in Dover Twp. where he lived.  At his death, in 1810, he left a l

estate (which the heirs fought over).

 

George probably saw some service in the Rev. War; on one muster roll is the name of George Fritz; and on another the name of George Ilgenfritz (Pa. Archives). George left no Will, but on Dec. 19, 1810, his estate came up in Orphan's  Court (Intesta

Book K - Pgs. 176, 177 - York Co. Court records.

 

There was a 'Feud' going on among the Ilgenfritz families; it is thought to have been between the children of the 1st and 2nd wives of George (the 2nd), and they never associated in any way...the young people were forbidden to meet.  Eleanora (Elle

went to Baltimore, to visit her uncle, John Ilgenfritz, in 1836, and while there met her distant cousin, Jacob Ilgenfritz,

Jr., who was also visiting...and the young folks fell in love.  Her folks opposed the marriage, and his mother was furious (his father was not living - having died in 1828)...she forbid Jacob from seeing Ellen, and threatened what she would do if h

did.  So...they eloped to Philadelphia and were married. Jacob began hunting work, he was a printer, but his mother hounded him, and got him discharged from every position he got.  He tried for work of any kind, but it was winter, and there was

none...a baby was expected...and still he could find no work...he took cold...it developed into pneumonia, and he died (from lack of medical attention, and malnutrition).  Ellen's folks, hearing of her plight, went to Phildelphia, and took her back

York with them...where her baby was born about three months later. Ann (Lau) Ilgenfritz refused to acknowledge the baby, and never helped Ellen and the baby in any way...it is thought that she had much property...the Laus were wealthy farmers of

Manchester Twp., York Co., and she had inherited much wealth.

 

Eleanora (Ellen) (Ilgenfritz) Gartman, lived in York, Pa., until 1905, when she went out to the state of Washington - with her daughter, Fanny Spangenberg - to live with her granddaughter, Eleanora (Nelly) and Frank Dice, on a large farm, near Pres

Washington (Walla Walla Co.)...where she died, Jan. 19, 1911, at the ripe old age of 97 (lacking ten days) - she is buried in the Dice family plot, City Cemetery, Waitsburg, Wash....which is about five miles from the Dice home.

 

Ellen was about 5 ft. 3 in. tall, weight ca. 120 lbs., light brown, wavy hair, medium blue eyes, fair skin. She had an active mind, with a keen sense of humor...a good memory, and loved to tell stories of 'the good old days'...she had a sunny

disposition, a pleasing personality...was a noted cook, seamstress and housekeeper.
