The Washington Republican
Washington County
Friday
July 30, 1897

When a good man passes from earth it is fitting and right that some mention
should be made of his life and character that not only those who knew him, but
also those who come after, may keep him in remembrance and profit by his example.
Anthony S. VAUGHT was born in All Saints Parrish, South Carolina, Dec. 15, 1827,
and departed this life, July 4th, 1897. His grandfather landed in South Carolina
when but ten days old, being born on the voyage from Germany. He fought in the
Revolutionary war, under Francis Marion. His father, whose name was Peter, was
one of a family of ten children, whose desecendants, except the subject sketch,
still live in South Carolina.
Bro. Vaught came to Kansas in 1856, locating at Marysville. He was married to
Annie S. DRISKELL Dec. 10th, 1862. To them eight children were born, six of whom
with the wife are living and were all present at the funeral. Four sons and two
daughters, whose names and residences are as follows: P.W. Vaught, Shosey,
Kans.; H.M. Vaught, Norgolk, Neb.; Anthony G. Vaught, John M. Vaught, Emma C.
Day, Mary D. Vaught, all of Hollenberg, Kansas. He spent his last day on earth
with a few friends and neighbors in his own home, near Hollenberg. Those present
say he was happy and cheerful all day, retiring that night in his usual health,
but was found unconscious, and remained so until his spirit took its flight near
7 o'clock a.m., passing away without a murmer or a struggle. 
Bro. Vaught was coverted in 1880, joining the M.E. church, of which his father
manifested a Christian spirit; never failing to observe family worship and
attending church when he could. He was a good, honest, upright Christian man, a
devoted husband, and affectionate father. He now rests from his labors and his
works follow him. May we, with his wife and children, press on to meet him where
partings never come. His funeral services were held in the M.E. church at
Hollenberg, and his burial in the cemetery near by.
Written by his Pastor, C. Atherton.
