	DAVID S. PRESCOTT, a highly respected citizen of Spokane, Washington, is a
son of Nathan and Rozilla Prescott, and was born at Minneapolis, Minnesota,
January 11, 1859. His father was a prominent cattle-raiser of Minnesota, and was
the first to introduce Jersey cattle into that State.
	Mr. Prescott was educated at Northfield, Minnesota, where he graduated with
high honors in all the English branches. He emigrated to the State of Washington
about five years ago and has since resided here. He has great faith in the
future prosperity of Spokane, on which subject he is enthusiastic. Politically,
he is a Republican, and is the present County Treasurer of Spokane county. He is
a member of the First Methodist Church, of which he is Secretary; is also
Secretary of Masonic Lodge No. 34, in which organization he stands high. Mr.
Prescott is a gentleman whose character is above reproach. By his kind and
courteous demeanor he has won the friendship and esteem of all classes of
citizens in this community.
	He was married, October 15, 1881, to Laura R. Betsworth, an estimable lady
of Le Mars, Iowa. They have four children: Ethel, Ernest, Leslie and Verna.
