It’s just one of the
recollections the now retired
couple have of the farm that
has been in the Denlinger
family for just over a cen
tury and a half.
Their son, Lewis, is now
the sixth generation of
continuous family operation
of the farm.
The lengthy family af
filiation with the land began
back m 1830 when John
Old deeds dating back more than a century and
a half are examined by Noah and Marian
Dentinger, of R 2 Paradise.

Denlinger, Noah’s great
great grandfather, bought a
200-acre tract of land along
the then Lancaster Turn
pike The present farm of 70
acres is included in this
original tract.
Up until about a year ago,
it had been operated as a
dairy farm. Now, it is
essentially a steer feeding
operation, with 95 head and
still about 30 dairy heifers.
Any Size
The elder Dfenimgers also
have many other memories
of their many decades on the
farm.
They recall remodeling
the house in 1965, removing
the upper story and con
verting the brick structure
into a ranch-type home.
