General Notes: Husband - James Lewis Prescott

From John Johnsen, NY State

I have since obtained obituaries which state they were buried in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, DC. They both died in Takoma Park, MD (JL on 29 Jan 1915 and Harriet on 1 Mar 1920). JL moved the family to North Berwick, ME, about the time he started the JL Prescott Co., which manufactured stove polish. The company flourished (branching out into, among other things, steam automobiles) and he eventually moved it to Passaic, NJ. Meanwhile, this family had become members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church while they were in Penacook, NH. I don't know how widespread this was among the Prescotts generally, but at least
JL and his family and his parents were members. Of course, they began (in 1842) as members of one of the Baptist millenarian cults which had sprung up and which predicted the end of the world in 1844. As JL reports in the obituary he wrote for the SDA newspaper about his mother, Lydia's, death, she was "among those who suffered great disappointment in the passing of time in 1844." Some of these groups pulled together after the "great disappointment" in 1844 and formed the SDA church.
JL's son William Warren became a significant figure with the church, serving as president of several SDA colleges, and touring the world as a missionary. The church had a headquarters in Takoma Park, which is how JL and Harriet ended up there.


General Notes: Wife - Harriet Morrill Tripp

Lost four young sons, Georgie, James, Frankie, and Fred, in 5 years. Georgie, James, and Frankie all died in December 1869, I assume because of an epidemic. Fred was her solace, born a little over a year later, but then he succumbed in 1874. - John H. Johnson
