Biography

Mary Ann Vincent was born in Portsmouth, England on September 18, 1818, the daughter of an Irishman named Farlin. Left an orphan at an early age, she turned to the stage, making her first appearance in 1834 as Lucy in The Review, at Cowes, Isle of Wight. The next year she married James R. Vincent (who died in 1850), an actor with whom she toured England and Ireland for several years.[2][3]

In 1846, the then Mrs Vincent went to America to join the stock company of the old National Theatre in Boston, where she became a great favourite.[2] The National Theatre burned in 1852, and thenceforth, until her death, on September 4, 1887, Mrs. Vincent was connected with the company at the Boston Museum.[3]

Vincent Memorial Hospital

Her memory is still honoured by the Vincent Memorial Hospital, founded in Boston in 1890 by popular subscription, and which was formally opened on April 6, 1891, by Bishop Phillips Brooks, as a hospital for wage-earning women and girls.[2] The hospital is now part of Massachusetts General Hospital.

gollark: Apologies if it's already been mentioned a lot, but my phone's (nonreplaceable) battery is degrading beyond the point of usefulness, so I probably need to replace it soon, and it seems that I can't really get other devices with replaceable batteries. So anyway:- can I get a PinePhone in the UK, ideally without horrible shipping cost and within... a month or so? If so, how/where?- how is the support if the hardware breaks somehow?- is it at least usable enough that I can use it for phone calls/SMS/web browsing reasonably reliably?
gollark: Activating orbital lasers.
gollark: I'm kind of expecting phone docks to replace laptops and desktops for a lot of users in the next decade.
gollark: I could probably cobble together something which works for running stuff based on a unit-file-type thing, but it would not be very good and just add to the xkcd.com/927/ situation.
gollark: It is a shame there's no systemd alternative which has the unit files and other nice stuff but no ridiculous amount of daemons and overintegration of everything.
