General Notes: Husband - William Hanna Vincent


He was but a boy of a few years when his father moved to New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, and became the founder of Westminster College. He graduated from this college in June, 1869, and after teaching for a year entered the United Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Newburg, New York, in which he pursued his studies for the ministry for two years, but graduated from the Allegheny Theological Seminary in April, 1873. He became pastor of Fairfield church, near Ligonier, Pennsylvania, in April, 1874, establishing at the same time a branch church in Ligonier. During the winter of 1878-79 he took a post-graduate course of study in Edinburgh University, Scotland, and traveled in Scotland, England and France. He was called to the First United Presbyterian church, of Mansfield, Ohio, and became the pastor July 1, 1887. After three years of successful ministry in that city he was in 1890 appointed by the Board of Home Missions to take up the work of the United Presbyterian church in Detroit, Michigan, where the congregation had been swept away by the secession of many of the ministers and churches of that Presbytery in the previous year. After restoring the work of the First church, the Second church was established in the western part of the city, both of became prosperous and influential churches. On the first of January, 1903, he accepted a call to the newly formed Third United Presbyterian church, of Youngstown, Ohio, and continued there until the church became strong and well-established. During the month of March, 1906, a call was tendered him by the North End United Presbyterian church of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, a field with fair opportunities for mission work. The call was accepted and the pastorate begun in June, 1906, and a prosperous work was inaugurated.
