Joseph Vincent, who has beer
a resident of this city for more
than twenty-five years, died
very suddenly at his residence
on wes3 Wisconsin street last
Thursday evening. Mr.. Vincent
was sick but very short time
when death claimed him.
The same evening that Mr..
Vincent died he was up town
where he called at several of the
business houses. He said that
he never felt better and natural
ly the news of his death came as
a great shock to his many
friends.
Upon returning to his home
last Thursday evening Mr..
Vincent ate hearty lunch and
laid down upon the bed. He
apparently went to sleep and
soon afterwards his moaning
attracted the attention of his
wife. She endeavored to arouse
him and being unable, rushed to
the home of a neighbor where
help was summoned. Mr.. Vim
cent expired within a short time
without regaining conscious
ness.
The funeral was held last
Saturday afternoon from the
late residence, the sermon being
preached by Rev. Smith of the
Congregational church. Inter
ment was in the city cemetary.
| Mr.. Vincent was one of the
first settlers in the city. HI
was one Of the organizers of the
Long Shoresman's union in this
city:: He was also member o
the Beaver lodge. Mem bers O.
