Pertinent details re Vincent Stanford from page 574 of the 1896 Biographical Enc. of Dauphin County by Runk. Vincent Stanford was born in Franklin, Venango county, Pa on 17 Dec 1872, a son of Rev. Wesley M. and Rosa (Weimer) Stanford. His father, bishop of the United Evangelical church, was born in Venango county 15 March 1846. Vincent married Mary Wiest on 13 March 1895. She was a daughter of Rev. S.L. Wiest, publisher in the United Evangelical church and in charge of all their publishing interests located in Harrisburg. On pages 277-279 is a very lengthy bio of the father, Bishop Wesley M. Stanford. He married 2 August 1870, Rosa A. Weimer of the southern part of Stark county, Ohio. Bishop Stanford's father was Abraham Stanford who was born in 1817 and died in 1882. His mother was born in 1826 and died in 1893. Her maiden name was Domer. Bishop Wesley Stanford was one of 4 children (he had one brother and two sisters) Bishop Wesley and wife had 2 sons and 4 daughters; (Orpha Blanche, Vincent W., Abraham Leroy, Zella Corinne, Laura Eva, and Mina Grace). Hope this helps, Sue
