Lyons Herald, 31 Dec 1903

Died at his home, one mile south-west of Lyons, on Christmas day Alva Vincent, 
from kidney and heart trouble, after an illness of three months.

Deceased was born in Albany county, New York, on September 28, 1827, and was of 
a family of twelve children, six of whom, four sisters and two brothers, 
survive him.  He was married in 1853 to Catharine Millard of Berlin, New York, 
and moved to Michigan in 1865, and settled near Fowler.  In 1881 he moved to 
Lyons village, purchasing the farm known as the Crosby homestead three years 
later.

He has been a faithful and consistent member of the Seventh Day Adventist 
church for the past 27 years, being associated with the Lyons church of that 
denomination for 22 years.  He leaves a wife and a daughter, Mrs. D.A. Reynolds 
of New York city, two other children having passed over before him.  He was a 
kind and devoted husband and father and was ever ready to help a friend in need.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from the home, being conducted by 
Rev. H.E. Wylie of the Methodist church.  Interment in the Lyons cemetery.
