Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, Friday, 20 Apr 1917, p. 2, c. 3
Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Vincent, one of Jackson county's well known pioneer women, 
passed away Thursday, April 19, 1917, at the Vincent home near Table Rock at 
the age of 76 years. Mrs. Vincent suffered a stroke of paralysis three years 
ago from which she never fully recovered. Last Saturday she became unconscious 
a hemorrhage of the brain finally causing death.

Mrs. Vincent was born in Benton county, Indiana, February 3, 1841 and January 
9th, 1862 was married to Benton Vincent, the young couple leaving two years 
later for the Pacific coast by ox team. They were six months on the way 
finally settling in southern Oregon. In 1877 Mr. Vincent purchased the farm 
which is now the Vincent home and there Mrs. Vincent lived up to the time of 
her death.

Mrs. Vincent leaves a husband and three children to mourn her loss, A. L. 
Vincent with whom she made her home, J. W. Vincent of Jacksonville, and Mrs. 
Olive Green living in Washington. Two daughters, Mrs. Mary Pankey and Mrs. 
Anna Fields of Medford died four or five years ago. There are four sisters and 
a brother still living, G. R. Meyers of Central Point, Mrs. George Jackson of 
Medford, Mrs. Mary Vincent of Antioch, Miss Lottie Vincent of Medford, and a 
fourth sister living at home.

The funeral was held at the Antioch cemetery, Friday, April 20th at 2:30.
Elder J. S. March of Central Point officiating.

Saturday, 28 Apr 1917, Table Rock Tablets, p. 6, c. 2-3  Mrs. Benton Vincent, 
who suffered a paralytic stroke nearly three years ago passed away at her home 
last Thursday evening at 7 o'clock and was laid to rest Saturday afternoon in 
the Antioch cemetery, funeral services, owing [to] the inclement weather, 
being held in the Antioch school house before a large number of friends and 
relatives. Mrs. Vincent had been a resident of this district for more than 
forty years and was known to be a woman of untiring energy, there being no 
task too difficult for her where duty called. She had seen many of the ups and 
downs of life, but through it all remained cheerful and optimistic, her 
inclination being to look on the bright side of all things. Besides many 
friends and relatives, she leaves to mourn her loss her devoted husband with 
whom she crossed the plains as his bride in 1862, and who scarcely left her 
bedside since she became afflicted, watching over her day and night throughout 
the long hours with a constancy and devotion read about in stories but not 
often seen in real life.
