- MRS. VINCENT PASSES AWAY
Surrounded By the Children She Has Reared She Enters Into Rest—The Funeral Tuesday.
The wife of Rev. T. T. Vincent of the First Presbyterian church, Alice A. (nee Countryman), closed a useful and honored life, Saturday, September 21st, 1912, at 3:45 p.m., at her home in this city, at the age of 53 years, 10 months and 11 days. The immediate cause of her death was dropsy, resulting in partial paralysis of the right side.
Mrs. Vincent was born in Dakota county, Minnesota, November 10th, 1858. She was respected and loved by all her young friends for her unselfish disposition and lovable ways, and to know her was to love and respect her. She was married to Rev. T. T. Vincent of the same county and state, October 14, 1875, and on the 19th of the same month left her native state with her husband for Oregon, a state even at that time apparently remote and far removed from civilization. It was like a death knell to her parents, brothers, sisters and friends to say to her at that time "Goodbye."
For nearly thirty-seven years she faithfully, loyally and devotedly shared the labors, trials, successes and failures of her husband.
Nine children were born of this union, eight of whom survive and were by her side when she passes away. They are: Mrs. Ida Mae Mathany, Centralia, Washington; Ro. O. Vincent, Midland, Oregon; Prof. C. C. Vincent of the state agricultural college, Moscow, Idaho; Ira L. Vincent, of Wren, Oregon; Mrs. Pearl E. Stevens, Gervais, Oregon; Mrs. Elsie Williams, Corvallis, Oregon and Chester L. and Vivian I. living at home with their parents in Woodburn. She had six grandchildren: Howard, Alice and Clinton Mathany, Robert Vincent, Marjory Vincent and Gwendolyn Williams,She is also survived by four sisters and four brothers, one of whom was present at the funeral, Mr. P. K. Countryman of Portland, Oregon.
