Who are Homer Lee Prentice's Parents?

The only information we have so far is that both of Homer's parents are shown in the 1930 census as b. in Mississippi.

Homer does not appear in the 1910 or 1920 census, so those records do not identify his parents. The SSDI does not show any other Prentice as dying in Pontotoc Co., OK.

Investigation is continuing.
