Two brothers, M.L. Prentice of Margarette, O., and N.E. Prentice of Payne, O.. One half brother J.K. Barnes of Columbus, O., and one half sister, Mrs. Louisa Colburn of Hickman, Pa., are left to mourn the loss of a brother. The deceased, through his long and useful life, had always a kind heart and open ear for the poor. It can be said of him: "An honest man is the noblest work of God." His untimely taking away brings inexpressible sadness and regret to every heart in this community. On every hand are heard expressions of sorrow, and most cordial sympathy for those who are passing through the shadow of a great grief. May this wealth of sympathy and tender consolations of an Infinite Heavenly Father comfort and sustain these bereft ones, helping them to wait patiently and hopefully, until the shadows lift in the morning when God shall gather his children together.

His father, Levi Prentice, came from Cazenovia, N.Y., in 1816, with the late Dr. Tilden. He was loved and respected by a host of friends and acquaintances; all of whom mourn his loss.
