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

"The death of Simeon Houghton occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. P. S. Perkins, on Wednesday, July 31st, at Hartwick Seminary. Mr. Houghton was born in the town of Maryland in 1844. For several years he had lived on the Bunyan farm at Hartwick Seminary. A few years ago his sight failed him and from that time he has made his home with the above mentioned daughter. In spite of total blindness for several years, Mr. Houghton has been a most patient sufferer. His was always a cheerful disposition and his Christian character has been one of admiration. Besides Mrs. Perkins, a son, Dorr Houghton, and a brother, Edward Houghton of Maryland remain to mourn the loss. There are also four grandchildren and several nieces, nephews and cousins. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Perkins, the Rev. Phillip Luther of Oneonta officiating. Interment at Hartwick Seminary."
