Update of 18 Aug 2004: Emma is the daughter of Arthur Prentice who appears in our Winter 1999 issue about Arthur Prentiss of MA and CA
1. Emma E. Prentiss was b. 9 Jan 1894 in CA and d. 2 May 1993 in Santa Clara Co., CA, at the age of 99 years. She appears as "Emma Prentise", unmarried and age 16, in the 1910 census in El Dorado Co., CA.
Emma m. Herman Thorndike, b. c. 1893, CA. He may, or may not, be the Herman A. Thorndike shown in the California Death Index as b. 21 Jun 1891, CA and d. 9 Mar 1961, Contra Costa Co., CA. They appear in the 1930 census in Oakland, Alameda Co., CA, with their children:
- Francis Thorndike, b. c. 1915, CA. (daughter)
- Ellen Thorndike, b. c. 1920, CA.
- Alberta Thorndike, b. c. 1925, CA.
The only information we have comes from the California Death Index which indicates that her father was surnamed Prentiss and her mother's maiden name was Lewellyn. No other Prentice, or spelling variation, appears in the 1910 El Dorado county census.
