Vincent grew up on the Frank Scallon farm in the Town of Bear Creek with his 10 siblings. After graduating from Saint Luke’s High School, he attended Normal Teachers College in Reedsburg with his brother, James. He then began his professional career as a school teacher in the one room Hilldrop School near Bear Valley. During the Depression, Mr. Scallon joined the Civilian Conservation Corp, helping establish a forest conservation project and serving as a camp’s amateur photographer, leaving a collection of early CCC Camp photos to document this period of our history.

After successfully becoming a Certified Public Accountant and a brief stint with an accounting firm in Chicago, Vincent returned to Madison, auditing dorm accounts for the University, auditing rural county welfare programs for the State and eventually joining the Aeronautical Bureau of The Department of Transportation where he spent much of his career auditing municipal airports. In November, 1940 Vincent married the late Frances Marie Dederich of Bear Valley at Saint Paul’s Chapel in Madison, and thereafter they made their home in Madison. Following his retirement, they became winter snowbirds, avoiding the challenge of Wisconsin winters in either Gainsville, Florida or McAllen, Texas until the death of his wife in 1986.
