after an illness of about four months,
aged 10 years.
Conductor Prescott made his last
on February 16, and he went home on
that day i'll. He was not again able
to resume his run, as he was suffering
from general breakdown and ad-
vancing age, and was also sufferer
from tuberculosis. He is survived by
his wife. Their only child, son,
Charles Prescott, also a passenger
conductor, died about one year ago.
Mr. Prescott, who has the record in
the books of the company with which
he spent his active life, as possessing
a "clear record" entered the employ
of the old Milwaukee & Mississippi
Railroad company, as a brakeman, in
September, 1852. At that time the road
ran only to Waukesha or short dis
lance beyond. On May 8, 1854, he was
advanced to the position Of freight
conductor, and year and a half later
or in the fall of 1855, he was made a
passenger conductor, which position
he continued to hold until his death, al
ways being on what is known as the
Prairie du Chen division Of the Mil
waukee road.
