George Vincent, M. D., the oldest physician of Hampton, and one of the old and leading physicians of the county, like many of the citizens of this county, is a native of Vermont. He was born in Montpelier in 1823, and until he attained his 16th year he attended school. At that time he began to teach school during the winter season, and worked on a farm during the summer. During the spring and autumn he attended an academy until 1845, when he commenced the study of medicine, and attended Castleton Medical College, from which he graduated in 1847. He hung out his shingle, and began the practice of his profession at Lunenburg, Essex Co., Vt. He remained there for a period of five years, when he sold out his practice, and in 1852 came to Port Byron, this county, where, however, he remained only six months, when he came to Hampton, where he continued to practice his chosen profession. In an early day the Doctor had considerable practice across the river, in Iowa, and went far and near through his section of the county.
Shortly after Dr. Vincent's arrival in Hampton, he erected a building, and embarked in the drug business, which he carried on in connection with his practice. He has also been agent for several companies, and held the office of School Treasurer. He has a fine residence in Hampton, where he is recognized as one of the leading men of the community.
Politically, he is a Republican. In 1850 he was married to Eliza G. Gates, who died in 1853. The Doctor, for his second wife, married Mary L. Thomas, in 1857, who is the mother of six children, as follows: Stella B., Alice S., George I., Carroll H., Ethel M. and Philip D. Flora T., the only child by his first wife, was married to Isaac A. Vihols, of West Liberty, Iowa. Mildred is their only child.
