J. S. Vincent, a member of the firm of Pickard & Vincent, hardware 
merchants of Eureka Springs, Ark., was born in Sherman, Chautauqua 
Co., N. Y., in 1847. His parents, James P. and Ann Vincent, are both 
of English descent, and natives of New York, where they still reside, 
engaged in stock dealing and banking. J. S. Vincent was reared at the 
home of his parents in his native county, and received a collegiate 
education at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. After finishing his education he 
engaged in the drug business in his native county, and continued two 
years, or until 1868, when he moved West and located at Piedmont, 
Wayne Co., Mo. Here he resumed the drug business, continuing for two 
years, after which he established a general merchandise store, which 
for seven years he managed very successfully. He then came to Eureka 
Springs and dealt in stock until 1885, when he entered the present 
firm. His marriage with Hannah Willink was celebrated in 1868. She is 
also a native of New York. Their marriage has been blessed by the 
birth of one child, Claude P.
