| Text | At 9:20 o'clock this morning the Master summoned for the final roll call the spirit of Frank Vinson, who passed away peacefully away surrounded by his good wife and sons. Mr. Vinson had been a partial invalid for about five years, his left eye being paralyzed, and was taken to his bed Friday of last week. Frank Vinson was born in Benton County, Missouri February 22nd, 1857 and was married to Miss Laura Madora Kile August 21, 1883 and to this union eight children were born, a daughter, Iola, and two sons, Walter and Russell, who passed away in infancy. There are left to mourn his loss a loving wife and five sons, Earnest, Earl, Emmett, Roy and Roger and one sister, Mrs. Kitty Blair of Sedalia. Funeral services will be held at the family residence, 1008 East Broadway, tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. C.F. Whitlock of the First Baptist Church, after which the body will be laid to rest in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Mr. Vinson and family were Rogers citizens for a number of years and Mr. Vinson served two terms as marshal of this city. Owing to poor health he had not been here often in late years and his death came as a surprise to most of our people. The deceased was the father of Earnest Vinson of Rogers. |
