Spring 2001 and Revised 7 Jul 2002
Update: Walter L. Prentice is the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Prentice of Scotland and PA who appear in our Summer 1999 issue.
Walter L. Prentice, b. 5 Apr 1866 in PA, appears in the 1900 Uniontown, Fayette Co., PA census with his wife, Blance Moriah Van Ache, b. 6 Apr 1870, PA. They appear in the 1910 and 1920 census without children.
A published obituary purported to identify a daughter for Walter named, "Mary Prentice", b. c. 1909, Uniontown. However, by emails of 4 and 7 Jul 2002, Bill Anderson advises that the correct name of "Mary Prentice" is Mary Ondercin (pronounced Onder-chin) and that she is not a daughter of Walter L. Prentice, but rather the daughter of Tony and Frances Ondercin. Mary Ondercin m. John A. "Jack" Bainbridge and had a daughter, Mary Prentice Bainbridge. Bill Anderson says he does not know how Mary Prentice Bainbridge came by her middle name of Prentice.
