GEORGE W. VINSON, the gentleman whose sketch next claims attention, is a native of
Lee county, I11., and the eldest son of Hon. Richard T. and Elizabeth (Cowin)
Vinson, who came with their family to Dakota territory in 1865, and settled in Union
county. They lived there until 1891, when they removed to Vermillion, and there Mrs.
Vinson passed away, in February, 1893, having borne her husband eight children.

Our subject first saw the light February 10, 1852. He accompanied his parents to
Dakota, and remained under the parental roof till 1890, February 23rd of which year
he led to the altar of hymen Miss Margaret L. Hempstead, who was a native of Ohio.
After their marriage, the young couple settled on the farm in section 25, Fairview
township, Clay county, where they now live and have ever since resided. The estate
consists of some 1 20 acres, all improved, on which Mr. Vinson carries on a general
farming business.

The family is completed by two children, Agnes E. and Dwight McKinley. Mr. Vinson
has served his fellow-men as school clerk and treasurer, taking an active interest
in all educational matters, and socially he holds membership in the Diamond Willow
camp No. 3403, M. W. A. Politically, he affiliates with the Republican party, and is
a stanch upholder of its principles by both voice and vote.
