Obituary: Albert M. Vinson (1858-1921)

Sudden Death Takes Ab Vinson at Early Hour

Was on Duty as Patrolman Yesterday and Last Night; Funeral Friday

A.M. Vinson, age 63 years, 2 months and 26 days, passed away at his home, 702 South Harrison street, at 12:30 this morning. His death was very sudden and came within a very few minutes after he had entered his home, having left his duties as patrolman at midnight. It was only three months ago that he was appointed as one of the city's police officers, and during that time he served faithfully and well, although handicapped by a siege of illness that lasted some time and from which he had but recently recovered.

Born in This County.

A.M., "Ab" as he was more generally known, Vinson, was born in Madison county, July 3, 1858. He was the son of the late James and Elizabeth Vinson. He lived on his farm, 3 miles north of Alexandria until about 18 years ago, when he moved to this city. He became engaged in the implement business and for several years was in partnership with Roe Jones in the building now occupied by the Alexandria Motor Sales Co. He was also deputy sheriff of Madison county during the four years incumbency of the sheriff's office by Jack Mountain.

Although weak from the effects of a three weeks' illness, Mr. Vinson insisted upon discharging his duties as patrolman. He was on duty last night as usual until 12:15 a.m., leaving for his home after his shift had expired. He went to his room, and shortly after entering Mrs. Vinson, hearing an unusual sound which had awakened her, went into the room where Mr. Vinson sat and found him lifeless. The angle of death had swooned down on the husband without a word of warning.

A Good Citizen

Deceased was a splendid man, a good citizen and one that was in every way worthy of the respect, confidence and esteem of his fellowmen. He took his responsibilities as patrolman seriously, and accepted the place because he felt it his duty to do so and not because he wanted the place. He was conscientious in the discharge of this duties and showed no favoritism. He did his duty as God gave him the light to see it. His death comes at a time when Alexandria needed his services and his cool and unprejudiced judgment.

Mr. Vinson is survived by his widow, Mrs. Nettie Vinson, one stepson, George B. Epperson, and a stepdaughter, Mrs. F.O. Karll, both of Barraboo, Wis. Also two brothers, Joshua E. Vinson, of this city, and Edward Vinson, of South Bend.

Deceased was a member of Necessity Lodge No. 222, I.O.O.F. and the Encampment; also of Meshingomisha Tribe No. 110, Red Men.

[Note: Albert was my maternal 2nd-great granduncle, having been married 1st to Anna L. Wright (1864-1914), daughter of Joseph and Rebecca (Heaton) Wright.]

Alpha Jones Dies Suddenly At Rural Home

Widely Known Alexandria Resident Victim Heart Attack

Although he had been under the care of a physician for several weeks, his condition had not been such as to confine him to the house and he was up and about as usual this morning. He was seated in a chair in the living room when the fatal stroke came upon him, and was dead when a physician who was hurridly[sic] summoned reached the Jones home.

The body was brought to the Davis and Stricler funeral home, and will remain their until preparations have been completed for the funeral and burial.

Mr. Jones is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Day, of West Broadway, two grandsons, Harold and Alpha Day, and two great grandchildren, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Day.

Note : William Alpha Jones was the first married to my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, Elizabeth Wright (1863-1882), who died in childbirth.

Thieves Visit Wright Home

Thieves Visit Wright Home

Clothing and Jewelry Missing When Family Returned

By removing a screen and crawling through a rear window, thieves entered the home of Fred Wright, corner of Broadway and Canal streets, last evening and stole clothing and jewelry valued at $75.

The housebreakers looted the home and escaped with a new overcoat and raincoat belonging to Mr. Wright, a pair of trousers to a new suit and a Masonic ring. A white gold watch belonging to his son Orville, and a ladies purse and pearl ring belonging to Mrs. Wright and a collection of old coins was also taken.

Mr. Wright, who is a rural mail carrier and his wife left their home at 7 o'clock and came to the business district to watch the Democratic parade. When they returned at 8:30 they discovered the robbery. The thieves had pulled all blinds in the house and the floors were littered with burnt matches indicating that the robbers had used the matches to see their way about.

Police were notified but a search about the house and premises failed to uncover any clews[sic] that will lead to the arrest and identity of the thieves. The raincoat was lined with brown material. It bore the name of Fred Wright, and police are seeking trace of the coat on that identification. All other windows in the home were securely fastened.

New Emergency Truck in Crash

Alexandria - Alexandria's new emergency truck, belonging to the fire department, was involved in a four-vehicle wreck on its way to answer a resuscitation call at the home of the Rev. Archie Kent, Innisdale, where an electric pump motor had filled the house with smoke. Driving the truck was Fire Chief Mace Hitchens. City police reported that the truck had both the red light and siren operating. The truck crossed Washington and Harrison St. intersection when a car driven by Frank Lambertson Jr., manager of the Town Theater, was in a collision with it.

The truck was going against a red light but had the right of way, police stated. After the collision with the Lambertson car the truck careened into an auto driven by Neal King, 11th Street Rd., which was stopped on the Washington street side of Harrison. After hitting the King car, the truck bounced across the street and hit a car owned by Almeda Clymer, RR 3. There were no injuries but there was an estimated damage to the King car of $450 and the emergency truck damage was estimated at between $750 and $1000. The truck was only recently put into service after being paid for by the donations from Alexandria industries, businesses, organizations and private citizens, and it was on its first run.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride appeared in a floor-length gown of hand-clipped Chantilly lace and nylon tulle which featured a scalloped neckline, a fitted bodice and lace appliques on the bouffant skirt. The long tapered sleeves came to bridal points over her hands.

Her finger-tipped veil of illusion fell from a crown of seed pearls and sequins. She wore a single strand of pearls, a gift from the groom, and carried a white prayer book and a cascade arrangement of rosebuds, white streamers and lace.

The maid of honor, Miss Darleen Lambertson, sister of the bride, wore a waltz-length gown of shell pink satin which featured a square off-the-shoulder neckline outlined by a row of ruffled net. She carried a cascade of raspberry carnations.

The bridesmaids, Misses Ilene Mack, of Alexandria, and Jean Ann Fettig, of Hartford City, wore identically fashioned waltz-length gowns of net over taffeta. Tiers of figured nylon net ruffles accented the bodice, skirt and capelet. Miss Mack wore pale lavender and Miss Fettig was gowned in lime green. Both carried cascades of yellow and lavender carnations. All the attendants wore a triple banded cap of feathers dotted with rhinestones.

Frank Lambertson, brother of the bride, served as best man. Ushers included Joseph Rasteller Jr., Maurice Mehling, Larry Pierce and David Garner.

For her daughter's wedding, Mrs. Lambertson chose a pink dress with white accessories and a corsage of pink carnations. Mrs. Patz, mother of the bridegroom, wore a blue dress with white accessories and a corsage of blue carnations.

A reception was held in the parish club rooms. The serving table was centered with a five-tiered wedding cake decorated with roses and topped with a miniature bride and groom. Serving the guests were Miss Teresa Diamond, Mrs. Frances New, of Alexandria; Miss Maralyn Young, of Summitville, and Miss Betty Maxwell, of Anderson. Individual tables were decorated with bridal colors and centered with wedding bells. Miss Marjorie Gooding presided at the registration table.

For her wedding trip to Chicago, Mrs. Patz changed into a lavender silk dress with a matching linen jacket and a corsage of pink roses. Upon their return the couple will reside at 506 W. Van Buren, Alexandria.

Mrs. Patz was graduated from Alexandria High School and is employed as a secretary in the engineering department of Haynes-Stellite Co. Her husband was graduated from Alexandria High School and attended St. Joseph's College and Ball State Teachers College. He served two years in the U.S. Army and is presently employed as a clerk in the E and R department of Johns-Manville Co., Alexandria.
