"E.J.. Vincent. The furniture trade of Walkerton is ably represented by Mr. Vincent, who deals in a fine class of goods, sells it at reasonable prices, and has gained an excellent reputation for just methods. He is a native of Mishawaka, Ind., where he was born on the 19th of August, 1846 to Benjamin H. and Betsey (Ellis) Vincent, the former a native of England and the latter of Ohio. The father came to the U.S. at the age of twenty years and from the city of New York, where he landed, removed at once to St. Joseph, Mich. thence to Mishawaka, and from there to South Bend. Having served a seven years apprenticeship at the cabinet maker trade in his native land, he worked at the same in Mishawaka and South Bend for a number of years, but in 1848 removed to the farm now occupied by Alexander Vincent, a brother of the subject of this sketch. There were 120 acres in the place at the time of his purchase, and being its third owner the place was fairly well improved, there being a good frame dwelling house on it, and 12 or 13 acres of cleared land. Of this place he made a valuable and finely improved farm in a comparatively short time, through earnest and persistent efforts, but his last days were spent in the town of Walkerville, where he was called from this life in January, 1883. His widow and five of the senven children born to him survive him, the names of the latter being, E.J.; Louisa, wife of T. H. Daugherty; Alexander, Albert, and Martha, wife of Franklin Fischer. E. J. Vincent remained with his parents on the farm until he was twenty-three years of age, and although his education advantages were limited he secured a practical knowledge of carpentering. From 1869 to 1876 he was engaged in the various occupations of railroading,milling, clerking and contracting in house carpentering, and on November 28, 1876, in company with a partner, he opened a furniture store in Walkerton, and has since devoted his attention to this business. He filled the position of town treasurer for two terms, has been a member of the school board, in which he has held all fofffics from secretary to president, and in various other way he has interested himself in the affairs of his section.. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M., the K. of P. and politicallly is a Republican. In July, 1869, he was married to Rebecca S. Woodward, by whom he has six children: Clyde, Walter, Edna, Arthur, Elliott, and Raymond who is the eldest. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church"
