Vincent Utterback died at his home east of Elmdale last Friday, Aug. 23. He was born March 1, 1820, and was 81 years, 5 months and 21 days old. He was married to Nancy A. Cooley, June 16, 1842. To this union was born seven children, six daughters and one son, John T., Martha A., Pheloma P., Mahala J., Sarilda Olive, Mary E., and an infant, all of whom have passed into the other world except John T., who with his mother mourn the loss of a loving father and affectionate companion.

He was a zealous worker and was steward for many years and was a member of the board of trustees at the time of his death.
