Lantz Construction Company company history timeline

1814

The 1814 appraisement of Peter Holler’s estate indicates that John Holler inherited 100 acres, the gristmill and the residence, and Henry Holler inherited the sawmill.

1864

Whenever Union troops arrived in the area, Lantz was forced to go into hiding.19 In October 1864, Union Major General Wesley Merritt, in command of the First Cavalry Division, laid waste to farms and industry along the Middle Road and the Valley Pike in Shenandoah County.

1866

As the presiding Justice of the Peace, Jacob Lantz was sought out by Union troops for failing to arrest his neighbors for their guerrilla warfare. As a result of the ”The Burning”, the appraised value of the buildings, including the mill, located on the Mill Tract, plunged to zero in 1866 from $3,600 before the war.24

1867

The mill was rebuilt around 1867 on the limestone foundation of the antebellum mill.

1879

In 1879, Hite Byrd and M. L. Walton were appointed by the Shenandoah County Court to liquidate Jacob Lantz’s assets after he became bankrupt.

1908

Interestingly, this portion of the mill had been removed by the time postcard of the mill was produced in 1908.
