Vincent - Jane Doyles

Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 8 March 1901

On Wednesday at 11 o’clock at her home northwest of Crawfordsville, February 20, occurred the death of Mrs. Jane Vincent, relict of Thomas B. Vincent, who died in 1886.

Her maiden name was Jane Doyles. She was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey, August 8, 1830, and removed with her parents to Ohio when 5 years old.

At 13 she was converted and became a member of the Methodist Church and as such continued until her marriage in 1849 to Thomas B. Vincent. After this, with her husband, moved to Indiana, settling near Muncie, moved to Montgomery County to the Round Hill neighborhood in 1873. No one who knew her can ever forget her calm sweet face, possessing that rare charity in an unusual degree. She thought no ill of anyone and no harsh word ever escaped her lips. Ever grateful for the blessings she enjoyed, she was ready to bow submissively under numerous bereavements never losing her faith and trust in God. Brighter and brighter shone the light unto a perfect day.

Five daughters, one son and her sister with many others, are left to mourn her loss whose tender words and loving messages are proof that it was “Well With Her Soul.” Services by the pastor, Rev. Weston, were Sunday at Round Hill Church. She was laid to rest in quiet in Mt. Pleasant graveyard by the side of her husband and children. - thanks so much Sharon
