1. George Prentice was likely b. c. 1927-1933. We presently have no further information about him since only his name appeared in his wife's obituary.

He m. Viola. She was b. c. 1933 and d. 1 Aug 2005 at the age of 72 in a local hospital in Ringgold, Catoosa Co., GA. Her obituary provides the following additional information:

Viola was a member of East Ridge Church of Christ, and a charter member of Eastdale Church of Christ. She was a former member of Central Church of Christ.

Survivors include her husband of 50 years, George Prentice; daughter, Katherine Zeller of Ringgold; sons, Fred Prentice of Tunnel Hill, Lewis Prentice of Chickamauga; eight grandchildren.

We note that the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) shows that Clenton (Clinton?) L. Prentice was b. 9 Mar 1904 and d. 3 Jun 1993 in Ringgold, Catoosa Co., GA. Also shown by the SSDI is the death of Bertie E. Prentice who was b. 8 Jul 1912 and d. 26 Dec 1989, also in Ringold.

Their ages are such that the could be husband and wife and could be the parents of George Prentice who apparently was living in Ringgold in 2005. Additional research is obviously needed to prove, or disprove, that possibility.

The 1904 Clenton L. Prentice is likely the same person as Clentern Prentice who appears in the 1910 census in New Decatur Ward 4, Morgan Co., AL, son of Jeff E. Prentice (b. c. 1881, AL) and his wife, Pearl (b. c. 1887, AL).

Although the birth year is off by 3 years, Jeff E. Prentice might be the same person as Jefferson Prentice, b. 1878, AL who is #13b(i) in our Summer 2006 article about the Prentices of Halton, etc..
