Lee Tharp Obituary (Circa 1900, Newspaper Unknown, Lebanon, KY)

DIES SUDDENLY IN BUGGY

While coming to town Saturday, Lee THARP died suddenly in his buggy on the Danville Pike, 
just this side of Grime*,s hill.  The deceased had  complained the day before of a dizzy 
spell which disturbed him some, but on the day of his death he had felt unusually well and 
was in the best of spirits.  At the time the fatal summons came he was driving along in 
company with his brother-in-law, Mr. (Shelby) MURPHY, when suddenly his head fell to his 
chest and the lines dropped from his hands.  His brother-in-law noticing this asked him what 
was the matter and receiving no answer he soon discovered that Mr. THARP was in a dying 
condition.  Hurrying on to town he drove to Dr. THORNTON*,S office where it was found that 
life was extinct.  His remains were taken to the office of BOSLEY and HUGHES, the 
undertakers, and prepared for burial.  Funeral services were conducted at his residence on 
Pope*,s Creek (on) Monday by Rev. T.F. WALTON, of Bradfordsville, after which the interment 
took place at Bethel Union.  The deceased was 24 years old and is survived by his wife and 
two children, who have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.

Subject: NEWS: Adair Co, Golden Wedding of Benjamine & Elizabeth Vaughan(nee Helm)

JAMESTOWN DECEMBER 23, 1897

I today attended the golden wedding of an estimable old couple living in the Cherry Grove 
neighborhood, about three miles from Creelsboro, Mr. BENJAMIN T. VAUGHAN, aged 74 and his 
wife ELIZABETH VAUGHAN (nee HELM ) , aged 68 . Mr. and Mrs. VAUGHAN are the parents of ten 
children, all of whom are still living except one--the youngest, ELMER--who died in his
fourteenth year. Two of their sons, LOGAN and WILLIAM H. are in Texas, two other sons, JOHN 
and BART, are citizens of Barren County, Ky, one daughter RUTH, the wife of MARK DEPEW, 
lives in Metcalf, and the remaining four daughters are in Russell county, three of them 
being widows. The youngest daughter, ALICE is the wife of Hon. W.T. SHARP, 
Representative-elect from casey and Russell. A large crowd of neighbors, relatives and 
friends collected at the residence to testify their appreciation of the old couple. After 
the gathering had assembled in the palor Mr. VAUGHAN made a touching talk about his marriage 
and his half century married life, how God had blessed him in all its varied vicissitudes, 
and how thankful he was for the good fortune which has attended his every effort. At the 
conclusion of Mr. VAUGHAN"S talk I conducted some religious exercises, after which we 
repaired to the dining room where a sumptuous repast had been spread, and if I fail to
do justice to it on paper, I can assure you I did an ample justice to it then.
