VAUGHN, John E.
Keowee Courier February 12, 1919, Death of John E. Vaughn, Esteemed 
Citizen of New Hope Section Called to Reward, New Hope Feb. 3---
Special: On Monday, Jan. 27, the spirit of John Vaughn winged its way 
from earth back to the God who gave it. Quietly, peacefully, as he 
lived. He passed away after an ilness of ten days of pneumonia, 
following influenza. Mr. Vaughn had made his home in this section for 
a number of years. He was a hard working man. A kind, loving husband 
and father, he was born May 10th, 1891, in Oconee county. He was a 
member of New Hope Baptist church---not only a member, but a faithful 
worker in the church and for the Master's cause. He was held in the 
highest esteem by all who knew him. They loved him most who knew him
best. He leaves a wife, who was before marriage a Miss Patterson, and 
four small children, the youngest a babe of only five weeks. His 
mother, four brothers and three sisters also mourn his death. The 
sympathy of the entire community goes out to the afflicted family in 
this dark hour of bereavement. At the time of the death of Mr. Vaughn, 
his wife and eldest child were very sick with the influenza. On 
Tuesday afternoon, after appropriate services by his pastor, Rev. M. 
J. Stansel, his body was laid to rest in the New Hope cemetery. While 
our hearts are torn and bleeding, may we cast our burden on the Lord, 
remembering that "the Lord gave and the Lord taketh away: Blessed be 
the name of the Lord." Thy will be done. A Friend. Contributed by:
