Philip J. Wendel and Martha Lintner Wendel
Martha Lintner Wendel · April 16, 1894 – July 20, 1970
This is a collection of photos of the oil paintings created by Martha Lintner Wendel of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She was the 8th great-granddaughter of Hans Herr, father of the first settler of Lancaster County, PA, and the maternal grandmother of David G. Kirchner a.k.a. Kirk (b. 10/11/1952). The paintings were created between about 1959 and 1969, when she was 65 through 75 years old. Her goal was to give at least one painting to each of her children and grandchildren who were alive at the time. She did it. These paintings are now dispersed around the world, among her children, their children, their children, and theirs.

Martha Wendel traces her roots to Hans Herr, born about 1608 in Zurich, Switzerland. (See A Modest Mennonite Home for the whole story.) I maintain a family genealogy database numbering about 1,300 of the more than 13,000 descendants of Hans Herr who were recorded as of my mother's generation, when the Herr Family Genealogy was published.
