Mary Adeline Harris, Oakwood Cemetery, Conroe, TX had an unmarked grave until this summer, when my sister, Reta Gaye Vincent McGarrahan, had a stone placed on the site, which is so identified with a concrete curb, and contains the following remains: Mary Adeline Vincent, husband Felix Vincent, daughters Ruby & Florence, and a niece Norma Bell Atkinson.
 It is my understanding that the location & information were confirmed by both a living son, Joe Frank Vincent and the cemetery management prior to construction. Dates are on the stone. I would most certainly be interested in making contact with anyone else researching either the Vincent or Harris.  Thanks, Vardy Vincent
