It is unknown how long the couple remained in Chicago before moving to Memphis, Tennessee, where Vincent's sisters Rosalie Mascari, Ignazia Mascari and their families were living.
Their only child, Frances, was born in Memphis on 2 Feb 1907. It is said Maria also had several miscarriages.
Vincent is listed on page 891 of the 1908 Memphis city directory as a peddler, living at 308 S. 2nd.
Vincent died 15 Apr 1914 in Memphis of tuberculosis.
His death certificate is strangely missing information if Mrs. M. Mascari is actually sister Ignazia LoSchiavo Mascari.
Vincent is buried at Calvary Cemetery in the single grave section. Stone gives birth as 13 Dec 1881 instead of 15 Sep 1881.
Widow Maria Concetta and daughter Frances moved back to Milwaukee after Vincent's death. Maria married Francis LaTona in 1915. Frances married Emilio Torra in 1929.
No pictures of Vincent have been found.
Daughter - Frances LoSchiavo Torra
Sister - Rosalie LoSchiavo Mascari
