JESSE THOMAS VAUGHAN 

   We were shocked and the whole community was saddened by the sudden and 
unexpected death of Mr. J. T. Vaughn (sic) last Wednesday the 13th inst. 
He had gone with his children to a protracted meeting at South Quay Baptist 
Church.  He was taken very ill with congestive chills and perhaps heart 
trouble in the forenoon, and with the kind attention of loving friends and 
the medical treatment of skilled doctors he continued to persevere till he 
expired at 10 o’clock that night.  He was so ill he could not be taken home 
but was borne by friends on a lounge to Mr. Tim Johnson’s near the church. 
His wife, who was at her home, was sent for, and she reached the scene of 
grief and suffering just in time to see the last of his earthly existence. 
And when she enquired of his condition, he could but feebly say, "Kitten, 
I’m most gone."  Bro. Vaughn [sic] was a good man in the various relations 
of life, as a husband, father, neighbor and friend.  And though of another 
denomination, [sic] he often attended our church and [...]  When with [...] 
prayer and monthly services.  He was often at our place, was usually cheerful, 
his countenance expressing peace and satisfaction.  He was a member of Beaver 
Dam Baptist Church, where his funeral and burial took place the 15th inst.
