Author: History of Grundy Co 1882

Alfred Vincent, blacksmith, Braceville. Mr. Vincent was born July 5, 1861, in 
Montreal, Can., and is a son of Julian and Asena (La Rock) Vincent, natives of 
Canada. The family came to Illinois in 1865, settling at Manteno, Kankakee 
County. The parents had nine children - Frank, Will, Ed, Julian, Alfred, 
Lillie, Agnes, Lina and Napoleon. Our subject attended school but little, and 
learned the carpenter's trade, beginning it when about ten years old. At the 
age of sixteen he began learning the blacksmith's trade with Thomas O'Neal of 
Braidwood, with whom he remained for about three years. In 1882, he began his 
present business, that of a general blacksmith and wagon, buggy and repair 
shop, at which he is succeeding admirably, having in his employ two men of 
experience.
