Guests were welcomed at his home with refreshments and oysters, while Grosh received valuable presents and positive wishes for another similar celebration.

Life and Character of Francis A. Gennert in Lititz
This reminiscence recalls Francis L. Lennert a Lititz native and clockmaker once admired for dress and wit. Born in Lititz with brothers William and Verdinand he ran a shop in the town’s upper frame building, pursued canaries and clocks, and led a bachelor life despite female attention. As years passed his finances and trade waned, ending in indigence but perhaps spiritual readiness at death.
