1. Lewis Prentiss was b. c. 1882 in KS (incorrectly indexed as Russia). He appears in the 1910 census in Independence, Montgomery Co., KS, with his wife. He does not appear in the 1900 or 1920 census.
He m. Mary, b. c. 1888, KS.No children are shown in the census record..
The only clue as to the identity of Lewis Prentiss' parents is the 1910 census which shows that his father was born in Indiana and that he mother was born in Ohio. No Prentiss with an IN birthplace appears in the 1910 KS census.
A review of our printed extracts from the 1880 IN census does not disclose any matching parents, but the 1900 IN census has a matching set of parents, although the spelling of the surname is different: Orpheus L. Prentice, b. May 1857, IN, and his wife, Mary M., b. Apr 1859, OH. Their ages are such that they could be Lewis' parents.
