Miss Vail was born at Newark and her early life was spent at that place. In 1881 she moved to Atlantic Highlands, her step-father, Rev. J. C. Nobles, being interested in the development of that place. Miss Vail joined St. Paul’s church at Newark when she was twelve years old and since that time had been constantly engaged in active church work. She was secretary of the Women’s temperance union and of the ladies’ aid society of the Methodist church, a teacher in the Methodist Sunday-school and was foremost in the work of the young women’s temperance union until the disbandment of that society a few years ago. She possessed many excellent traits of character that endeared her to a large circle of friends. Besides a mother, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Edgar R. Mills, who is well-known at Atlantic Highlands.

Per the death notice Miss Vail was 52 years of age
