The most of her life was spent in and around Davisville, West Virginia.

Vaughan, Mrs. Howard E. Harper of Parkersburg, West Virginia; Mrs. Mary B. Petty, Mrs. Howard N. Marlow of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Lewis L. Coe, Miss Geraldine Vaughan and Clarence W. Vaughan of Earlham.

Cleveland West of Gilbert, Arizona, and Mrs. Poca Janes of San Francisco, California. Twenty-five grandchildren and five great grandchildren, other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Vaughan was a member of the First Baptist Church of Stillwell, West Virginia. Mrs. Vaughan was not so well known in this community for since her coming, she has been ill much of the time. She was loved by all who knew her. She was a kind, patient, loving mother who had the joy of seeing her family grow to manhood and womanhood, going out to make homes for themselves.
“She resteth from her labors, and works do follow her.”
