Note: This article has now been replaced by our later Spring 2006 article entitled Solomon Prentice of MA and Nelson Portage Co., OH .
We are attempting to identify the parents of Solomon Prentiss.

- While a young man he was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church.

A faithful husband, and a tender father, a consistent Christian has gone to his abundant reward. Brother Burr was a man of sterling quality, known in the business world for his ability and christian integrity, loved and revered by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn his departure, a devoted wife, one daughter, Mrs. A. N. Thompson, of Seattle, Washington, and one brother, Almon Burr, of Waterloo, and many loved friends.
