Dr. W. A. Vincent Practicing Physi cian in Village For 52 Years-- Both He and His Wife Are in Good Health

Three Mile Bay, April 28. -- Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Vincent of Three Mile Bay will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary, Monday, April 30. Both are in good health. The doctor still continues to practice, only instead of using horses as of 50 yeas ago, a modern automible carries him swiftly over the macadamized roads that show very little relation to the ones over which the horses trotted when he first cared for the sick in the community. Mrs. Vincent teaches a large women's class at the Baptist church, having had this class for over 40 years.

At the time Dr. and Mrs. Vincent met she was the teacher of a class of young men, among whom were Dr. W. C. Borden of Washington, D.C., Dr. John Bovee, late of Washington, D.C., Dr. Charles Walrad, dentist of Johnstown; William McPherson, retired farmer; Justice J. J. Barron and others including Dr. Vincent.

Dr. W. A. Vincent is a native of Jefferson county, having been born in Clayton, eldest son of Leonard and Mary Johnson Vincent, who were among the early settlers of that vicinity. In his youth while preparing for his medical career he was employed as a clerk in the C. A. Ellis drug store at Clayton. Dr. Vincent attended Ives Seminary at Antwerp and Belleville academy. At that time his splendid penmanship attracted attention and he was asked to instruct in that now neglected art.

At the age of 25 he was graduated from the Baltimore Medical college and is now one of the oldest alumni in the state. Dr. Vincent usually attends the alumni meetings of his alma mater where the number of his contemporaries is small. His vacations while at college were spent in the office of Dr. James G. Spencer, the same office in which his younger son, Dr. L. M. Vincent, now practices medicine. Associated with Dr. Vincent at that time was Dr. C. N. Bibbins, senior member of the firm of Bibbins, Montgomery, and Vincent.

After Dr. Vincent secured his medical degree he journeyed here to Three Mile Bay to visit an uncle, G. W. Rickett. His uncle persuaded the young man that he could do no better than locate in Three Mile Bay, then a thriving small village. There for the past 52 years he has maintained his residence and identified himself with many of the village interests.

After two years he met and married Bessie Lansing, only daughter of Henry and Maria Guile Lansing. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. E. King in the same house where the couple now reside. Besides the family, Mrs. John Lansing Schuyler and Mrs. Furman Lott were present. They are still living, neighbors of Dr. and Mrs. Vincent. The minister's wife, Mrs. King, was also present. She now resides in Ilion.

His bride of 50 years ago was born on the farm, now known at the Long Carrying place which was a tract of land conveyed to her grandfather, Daniel Guile by Vincent LeRay de Chaumont or agent. Miss Lansing attended Watertown High school from which institution she was graduated in 1874. This was one of the first classes to be graduated from the high school which then stood on State street. The principal at that time was Hannibal Smith, father of Justice E. N. Smith.

When Mrs. Vincent was 20 years old the Lansing family moved to the village of Three Mile Bay and purchased the home of Jacob Putnam which is the present home of Dr. and Mrs. Vincent.

Two sons were born, the elder, Harry Lansing Vincent, now resides in Syracuse and the younger, Dr. L. M. Vincent, is a practicing physician in Watertown. Dr. and Mrs. Vincent have seven grandchildren.
