Died 27 Sep 1915 in Edmonson County, Kentucky Reuben Adam Vincent enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War, but was not a fan of Mr. Lincoln. He was a commited Democrat who lived in a strongly Republican County of Kentucky. Some years after the Civil war, local Republicans sent out the word that any Democrats voting in the coming election would be shot on sight. Undeterred and committed to voting, Rube Ad and his son Jasper mounted their horses on election day. Holding their rifles laid across their laps, the two men rode into town to vote. Several men noticed them as they rode toward the polling site, but no one attempted to stop them. Only two democratic votes cast in that voting precinct that day, those of Rube Ad Vincent and his son, Jasper. Their commitment to voting their conscience is a reminder of the importance of the right to vote, and how no one should ever take that right lightly.
