Identified as Walter Melville Vincent, son of David B. Vincent & Susannah Kerr, b. May 30 1874, d. Feb 24 1955, age 81y 8m 25d. There is thus a discrepancy in his age or date of birth, as the age would put his birth date at May 30 1873; conversely, the 1874 birth date would make his age one year younger. The more likely scenario is a miscalculation in the age. - [S638] Headstone (year only).
