From The American Horologist magazine, January 1939
Mr. A. C. Hentschel, Sr., Milwaukee, a member of the Wisconsin Board of Examiners in Watchmaking, formerly president of Wisconsin Retail Jewelers Association for ten years and always an active member in the Jewelers Association work, died December 10th at the age of 59.
The watchmakers and jewelers in the state feel the loss of one of their most loyal, active and conscientious friends. Words cannot express the respect and admiration I had for Mr. Hentschel nor the loss I feel upon his passing from us.
