Vincent, Thomas
Thomas Vincent, an old resident of Chase county, passed peacefully away, Saturday morning, about 6:30 o’clock of a complication of diseases. The funeral services were held at the Burns M. E. church, Sunday at 1:30 p. m., Rev. Anderson conducting the services; after which the remains were laid to rest in the Wonsevu cemetery.
He was born in Washington County, Ohio, on June 22, 1842, and died in Burns, Kansas, May 12, 1906, aged 63 years, 10 months and 20 days.
He was married March 16, 1873, to Sarah Camp who survives him. They made their home in Vinton county, Ohio, until 1875 when with their two children, they moved to Chase County, Kansas, and located in Pleasant Valley, where they have resided until last October, when his health having failed, he decided to leave the farm and moved to Burns. He was converted about fourteen years ago and joined the Friends church of Pleasant Valley. Mr. Vincent has been an earnest Christian, always striving to do his part in the church and Sunday school work.
He will be sadly missed in his old neighborhood where he lived so long. Mr. Vincent served his country, loyally and faithfully during the Civil War and here his health was undermined.
Though a great sufferer yet through it all he was ever patient and cheerful never murmuring and his faith in the One who doeth all things well, never wavered. Those who knew him best loved him most and no one could but feel that he was the better off for having known him.
The last few weeks he was so much improved that he was able to walk up town, and his friends were hopeful that he would he spared to them, yet awhile longer, but God willed otherwise and called him home. When the call came he was ready to go.
He leaves to mourn, a wife, daughter, Mrs. Mary Sidener, son, Myron W. Vincent, six grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters, together with a host of friends. The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community. –Burns Citizen.
