Unknown Paper - 12 Mar 1948
ELIZABETH VINCENT - There passed peacefully to her eternal Home on March 6 Mrs. Elizabeth Vincent, widow of the late J.R. Vincent of New Annan, at the age of 83 years. Mrs. Vincent was formerly Elizabeth Johnstone, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Johnstone of New Annan. With the exception of a few temporary visits elsewhere her life was spent in the vicinity of her birth place, where she was known and loved by a wide circle of relatives and friends. Of a kindly, patient and self sacrificing spirit she was affectionately known as Gram, not only to her own children and grandchildren, but to many beyond the confines of her own family. In her immediate family she leaves to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted mother, two daughters, Mrs. M.D. MacKenzie of Pictou and Mrs. J.W. Miller of Truro. Also two sons, Earl J. Vincent of Halifax and Delmar E. Vincent with whom she made her home. She was predeceased by her eldest son Ira and youngest daughter Marguerite. One brother Harvie Johnstone of New Annan survives, as well as a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was tenderly and competently cared for during her brief illness by her daughter-in-law Mrs. Delmar E. Vincent. The funeral from the United Church was conducted by Rev. Eric Koffenc, followed by interment in the family lot in Bell Gift Cemetery.
Their daughter Elva Marguerite died of TB, her obit is in the post titled 'Consumption at Kentville' written in April 2016
