ROY W. DENTLER, a druggist of 311 High street, Pottstown, 
was born December 12, 1878, in Northumberland county, 
Pennsylvania. He is the son of John Philip and Jennie May 
(Raup) Dentler.

John Philip Dentler (father) was born and has always lived 
in Northumberland county, where he is a retired farmer. He 
spent his life in tilling the soil. In politics he is a 
Democrat, but has never aspired to political fame. The 
family are members of the Lutheran denomination. John P. 
Dentler was born in 1842. He married Jennie May Raup 
(deceased), and they had two children: Lillie E., born April 
2, 1874, married Dr. James G. Derr (deceased), of 
Northumberland county, they having no children; she at 
present resides with her father; and Roy W. Dentler.

Roy W. Dentler attended the public schools and was graduated 
from the Tierbotville high school. He spent three years as a 
clerk in a drug store at Williamsport, F. W. Ely being his 
employer, and then attended the Philadelphia College of 
Pharmacy, graduating in the class of 1900. He went west and 
obtained a position as clerk in a Chicago drug store, where 
he remained ten months. He then clerked in a drug store in 
Hagerstown, Maryland, for another ten months until he went 
to Pottstown. For a short time he was employed as a clerk in 
that borough, and on October 15, 1902, established the drug 
business which he now manages. The store has been very 
successful, and has a good patronage. Mr. Dentler is a 
Republican in politics, and belongs to the B. P. O. E., of 
Pottstown.
