VAUGHN, NANCY (WARNER) (MRS.):
  SARANAC ADVERTISER, MI, 12-5-1917, p 4:  "OBITUARY - Mrs. Nancy Warner Vaughn
- On Thursday evening, November 22, Mrs. Nancy Warner Vaughn passed into the
higher life at the home of her son, Levi S. Vaughn of this village.  Mrs. Vaughn
had been in feeble health for some time and had reached the advanced age of
nearly 89 years.  She was born in Warnertown, NY, the town which was settled by
her ancestors in the early days of the country's history and which was named
after the Warner family.  She was a direct descendant of Capt. George Warner,
who served so faithfully during the Revolutionary War, and who was always active
in affairs for his country's good.
   Mrs. Vaughn's life until recent years, when ill health prevented, was one of
service.  She was a most devoted wife and mother, to others.  Her patriotism was
unbounded and even during the last week of her stay with us, she inquired
several times for news of the war, and every day inquired if the flag had been
hung out.
   Perhaps her greatest pleasure in recent years was, when in Chicago four years
ago, she was privileged to cast her first vote on the side of those principles
which she believed to be right, upon this occasion receiving special mention in
the newspapers, owing to her advanced years.  And so, with such a long life well
spent, though her loss to her family is keenly felt, none can but rejoice for
her that she has entered into the larger fuller experience which awaits the
weary pilgrim at the end of a long journey.
   Mrs. Vaughn is survived by three sons:  Levi S. of this village, Col. B. of
Stanton, Charles G. of Colorado, and one daughter, Mrs. Harry A. Wales of
Chicago.  There are also several grandchildren who will ever cherish her memory."
