Mr. Fred Vincent, a young man whose home was in Crawfordsville, Indiana, but who had for the past two years been a resident of Columbus in the employ of the Frisco Railroad Company, died Sunday evening at 8:30 o’clock at the residence of John Stuckey, after an illness of ten days or two weeks. Mr. Vincent was a young man of exemplary character, a consistent, earnest member of the M. E. church, an active worker of the Epworth League of that church, a man with whom it was a pleasure to associate, one who enjoyed the respect and esteem of his fellow laborers. He, about six months ago, became a member of the Odd Fellows lodge of this city, and was a faithful member of the order. Every attention possible was rendered him by his brothers of the order during his sickness and on Monday the body was prepared for burial by Pepper & Jackson, undertakers, and notwithstanding the severity of the storm, about fifty or sixty of the Odd Fellows in their full regalia repaired to the house of Mr. Starkey, where short services were held by the Epworth League conducted by Rev. Roaz, after which the order took charge of the body and tenderly carried it to the Frisco depot from which it was shipped to his home in Crawfordsville, Ind. The order sent one of its members, Mr. John Stuckey, as an escort with the body. An order that would so as did the Odd Fellows in this case shows to the public the generous spirit of kindness and brotherly love upon which it is founded, and while not a member of the order, we could but feel that Mr. Vincent was truly among his brothers at the close of his earthly career.—Columbus, Kan., Reporter -s
