Elbridge G. Vinton, proprietor of the Vinton House, was born near Boston, 
Mass., July 11, 1824. His parents came to Wayne County, Ind., and settled on a 
farm near Germantown, where his father, Joseph Vinton, followed farming till 
his death in 1875. His mother was born March 9, 1801, and is still living with 
our subject. They were the parents of three sons---Joseph W., a farmer of 
Cleveland County, Ind.; Elbridge G., and Darius S., who died about 1848. 
Elbridge G. was educated in his native State, and resided at home till 
attaining his majority, after which he was variously engaged until 1846. He 
then began keeping hotel in the building now known as Hotel Kirby, remaining 
there three years, when he rented his present house for eighteen years. At the 
expiration of this time, he purchased the house and grounds, and has since 
kept the leading hotel in Cambridge City. Mr. Vinton was married in 1847 to 
Catherine, daughter of Frederick Johnsonbaugh, who came from Pennsylvania to 
Wayne County, Ind., in an early day. They have a family of four children---
Charles W., died in 1849; Ida L., wife of George Stoddard, of Wyoming, Ohio; 
Lillie O. and Flora B.
