Living with the family in the 1930 Columbus, Franklin Co., OH, census is Elizabeth Looker, b. c. 1859, OH, a widow (maiden surname not given)..
There is an outside chance he might be a son of Albert Prentiss who appears on pg. 461 of our PRENTICE book. Albert was b. Aug 1820, VT and in 1850 was a merchant in Worthington, Franklin, OH. Albert had at least two children, a daughter, Sarah, who was born in 1852 and another daughter, Frances, b. c. 1857. However, the 1910 census says that both of Worthington's parents were b. in NY.
