Mrs. Emily PRESCOTT, wife of Mr. Isaac Prescott, residing in "Dutchtown",
formerly called Mt. Olive, on the hill opposite side of the Monongahelia, was

how the fire in her oven was burning, when she was struck by the fluid and
killed instantly. She leaves her husband and a family of five children.
