Miss Charlotte Vimont, aged about
! rs years, died at her home at l 80 a.
M, Tuesday of an attack of paralysis.
! She was stricken at 40 clock pm. Mon
day She had complained of a cold
since Saturday, but it. was not suppos-
ed anything of a serious nature. She
was the granddaughter of Louis
Vimont, French Hugenot, who was
compelled by persecution to flee to this
country.
He became quite factor in the de-
velopment of his adopted State, as he
was contractor and built quite a num-
Der of sections of the Maysville and
Lexington turnpike and also other
roads in adjoining counties. He accu-
mulated quite property, became en-.
gagged in the mercantile business, built
large brick building situated on
Vimont street, and now known as the
st. James.
He loaded and sent many fiat boats
from Johnson Fork of Licking Run to
New Orleans. The father, jefferson
t. Vimont, was a merchant during his
life time and died in the large stone
building occupied by the daughter as
a residence. Her mother was also of
French descent, name Elizabeth Bar
bara Minteel, whose sister, Mary Min
teel became the wife of Tom Clay,
the son of the great comoner, Henry
Clay.
She is survived by two brothers, Will
liam Vimont, of Des Moines. Iowa,
and Thomas Jefferson Vlmont, a
merchant, of Paxton, H., and sister,
Lizzie. who was living with the deceas-
ed. Miss Vimont leaves a large and
influential connection in this and adj
joining States.
She has been life long member of
the Presbyterian church, and levaes
quite an es ate, and her home perhaps
contains as many valuable curios as
any in Kentucky. Many Of them of
rare French artistic articles reachir q
wack for two centuries. Funeral ser
/ vices were held Wednesday afternoon,
conducted by the Rev. H. L. Laird, of
Linden, KY. assisted by Rev. r. S.
Sanders.
