Mr. Prescott also owned a farm in the rear of Elm street on what is now known as Prescott hill, and he was buried in the old tomb at the foot of the hill.

From its top the flames of burning Charlestown were seen in 1775. The stand pipe of the water- works now occupies the top and its base is one hundred and fifty-nine feet above tide water.
