Rev. and Mrs. Vincent followed a number of church callings, including but perhaps not limited to: Brighton, IA; Spring Hill, IN (Decatur County, classified as a ghost town since 1901); and Paxton, IL. The family returned to Monmouth in September 1896, for the education of their children. Sue was already suffering the effects of cancer, and surgeries which provided no relief from her suffering. A month after her passing, her husband accepted a call to preach at Emporia, KS. He died in 1916 at their daughter's home in Buffalo, NY. He had served as a Captain in Company K of the 50th Regiment of the U.S. Colored Infantry during the American Civil War. | Rev. and Mrs. Vincent followed a number of church callings, including but perhaps not limited to: Brighton, IA; Spring Hill, IN (Decatur County, classified as a ghost town since 1901); and Paxton, IL.

Josie Thompson (Brown), who was Anna Willits’s cousin, initiated at Sue Walker’s home (January 1871), also seems to have left college in 1871 and could possibly share the distinction with Sue of being the first alumna. Monmouth College records show no trace of Josie as a student, but do show that Sue left in 1871. Josie’s obituary states that she married soon after she left college; she married Rev. Isaac Brown in 1872; if 1872 is also the date she left Monmouth, then Sue is indeed the first alumna member. Sue was the only Founder who did not receive her college degree. All Fraternity histories agree that she is the first alumna. |
Of the six Founders, only Lou Stevenson was formally initiated into membership. Before that, Anna Willits and then Sue Walker were only asked to join. | Of the six Founders, only Lou Stevenson was formally initiated into membership.
