VAUGHN, NANNIE
(21 Jun 1928, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. T. M. Vaughn
Nannie Price Vaughn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Harrison, was born
in Calloway county, Missouri, on November 20th, 1868, and departed this
life on June 18, 1928, at 10:30 p.m., in Elk City, Oklahoma, at the age of
59 years, 6 months and 28 days.
She was united in marriage with T. M. Vaughn in Calloway county, Mo., on
January 8, 1888.  To this union six children were born, three sons and
three daughters.
She and her husband resided in Missouri until 1907 when they moved to
Coffeyville, Kansas, and in 1909, they moved to Elk City, Oklahoma, where
they have since made their home.
One son, Harry, preceded his mother in death in 1897, and a daughter
Myrtle, also passed away in October 1904.  The husband and the following
named children and their families survive their mother:  Fred Vaughn,
Clarence Vaughn, Mrs. Byron Hager, and Mrs. Paul Phelps, all of whom
reside in the community of Elk City, and ministered to their mother in her
last illness in a tender and affectionate way.  Her mother, Mrs. M. S.
Harrison of Elk City, and two brothers, S. C. Harrison of Elk City, and W.
E. Harrison of Fulton, Mo., also survive.  There are also five
grandchildren.
Sister Vaughn became a Christian in early womanhood and remained
steadfastly in Christian faith and service until her death.  She and her
husband have been members of this congregation for nearly twenty years. 
She was not only respected and loved by her brothers and sisters in the
church but by all in the community who had the privilege of knowing her
intimately.  Her life has been a blessing to the home, the church and the
community, and all were better because she lived.
Funeral services were conducted by Carl V. Covey, Pastor of the First
Christian church, on June 20, 1928, at 2:30 p.m., and interment was made
in Fairlawn cemetery, Elk City, Okla.
