Because of her family's objection to her marriage, the union was not discovered by newspapers until late August 1910. And then it was only by accident that it was found out. Prentice was independently wealthy. She owned a lily farm in Bermuda. She met Ford when both were in the Soldiers of Fortune company.[1]

She had a brother, Edward H. Prentice, and a sister, Helen Prentice Frost. The former died following a long illness in San Marino, California, on April 27, 1944.
