We are helping Dale L. Prentice in tracing his Prentice family tree. Here is what we have so far:

Harry later appears in the census in 1900 Hancock Co., OH. In 1901 he lived in Terra Haute, Vigo Co., IN where his son, Dale, was born. In the 1920 census he is shown living in Highland Park, Wayne Co., MI.
Harry m. Marie H.who was b. Nov 1876 in Germany and who d. 31 Mar 1940 in Oakland Co. MI. They had at least 1 son:
