Biography

Frederick James PRENTISS, born October 18, 1816, studied law, and in 1839 settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where he began practicing law, and where, in 1840, he was joined by his brother Samuel B. They were in partnership until February, 1861. In 1860, his health not being equal to further practice, he accepted an election as clerk of the Common Pleas and district courts for three years and was reelected in 1863. In 1877 he removed to New York city, where, and at Greenport, Long Island, he has since resided. It is owing to him that the Vermont Historical society has a most excellent portrait painted by Thomas W. WOOD of Judge Samuel PRENTISS. F. J. married Delia Adeliza HURD, of Middle Haddam, Conn. They had one child, Frederick Charles, who is a manufacturer. Any one who has known Mr. Frederick James PRENTISS is ready to believe all the good things that are said of the grace and courtesy of both his father and mother.²
