Update of 28 Feb 2008: This article is now replaced by our Spring 2008 article about John Peterson Prentis of Scotland and Indiana .

1. Florence (Pat) Madden was b. 1 Aug 1921 in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, WA, and was a 38 year resident of Pierce Co., WA, (moved there c. 1956) and d. 15 Jul 1994. She was a secretary for the Clover Park School District for 20 years. Her other interests included gardening and reading. Graveside services were held at St. Francis Cemetery at Friday Harbor. Arrangements were provided by Mountain View Funeral home, 584-0252 (per her obit. in the 20 Jul 1994 News Tribune, Tacoma, WA).

She m. Mr. Prentice who apparently predeceased her since his name is not given in her obituary. Surviving children include:

  1. Michael V. Prentice, and wife Patricia, of Dallas, TX,
  2. R. Daniel Prentice, and wife Deborah, of Newport.
  3. Jeffrey T. Prentice of Seattle and Friday Harbor

Who is Florence Prentice's Husband

Since Florence (Madden) Prentice was a 38 year residence of Pierce Co., WA, at the time of her death, we checked the SSDI for any male Prentice who died there and who was b. c. 1915-1923.

We found only one. He was Ernest Prentice, b. 13 Jun 1915, obtained his SS# in CA, and d. Jul 1983 in Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA. Tacoma was where Florence's obituary was published in 1994.

More investigation is needed to determine whether he is the Ernest Prentice shown in the 1930 census in Ventura, Ventura Co. CA, as b. c. 1916, KY, and son of Louis Prentice (b. c. 1890, KY, as were his parents) and Rosa (b. c. 1897, KY, as were her parents).

Louis Prentice appears as Louis R. Prentice in the 1900 census in Beard, Oldham Co., KY, and b. c. 1890, KY, son of George Prentice (b. c. 1853, KY) and Annie (b. c. 1854, KY).

George Prentice appears as George P. Prentice in the 1870 census on Wolf Island, Hickman Co., KY, son of John P. Prentice (b. c. 1823, VA) and Margaret M.(?) (b. c. 1829, KY). John and Margaret are #35ii in our eBook on William Prentice of Williamsburg, VA .
