She was married in the State of New York to Martin Vincent and in about six years (1844) they moved to Indiana where Mr. Vincent acquired from the government the farm southwest of Ainsworth on which they lived until 15 years ago, at which time they moved to Hobart.
There were born to them seven sons and two daughters. One son and both daughters have died. The sons living are: Dr. A.W. and James, of Valparaiso, Reuben, of Kansas, D.W. of Crown Point, Martin, of California, and Chas. A. of this place. There are 18 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.
Mrs. Vincent united with the Methodist Episcopal church at the age of 16 and continued in that faith and connection until the end of her life. Whe is well known and will be much missed by all who knew her.
The funeral services were conducted today at 1:30 p.m. at the M.E. church by Rev. Geo B. Jones, the pastor, and the remains interred in the Hobart Cemetery.
