Note: She never married but helped at home and did a lot of sewing. When Elizabeth came back, the two sisters lived together for the rest of their lives. They were both very sweet and gentle ladies. (From a letter written to a Mrs. Wozniak in Feb. 1981 by Ermine (Metcalf) Tregoning). The following 1880 U.S. census entry may indicate that our Prudence Tregoning was living in the home of Edward O. White in 1880. The age of this Prudence (22) fits the birth year of our Prudence (1858). White Oak Springs Township is located immediately south of the village and township of Shullsburg where Prudence's parents lived. The 1894 platt book for Lafayette Co. shows that E. O. White owned a farm of 240 acres called "Signal Hill Stock Farm" in section 23 of White Oak Springs township. This is one of the northern-most sections in the township and is one of the closest townships to Shullsburg. School No. 2 is located in the southwest corner of this farm. Perhaps Prudence was a school teacher at this school and was boarding at the E. O. White home. She also may have been a servant in the home, but no occupation is given. This census also gives Prudence's birthplace as Illinois which I believe is incorrect. 1880 U.S. Census Mormon Church on-line, http://www.familysearch.org/ Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Edward O.
