MRS. C.C. VAUGHAN

   Mrs. Antionette Gay Vaughan, the beloved wife of Mayor C.C. Vaughan, passed 
from death into Life at her home here Friday, August 15, at 1:40 p.m.  She was 
in her seventy-fifth year and the call of the Master brought relief from a 
painful and lingering illness of several months.  Mrs. Vaughan had been for 
many years a devout member of the Methodist church and had spent a long and 
useful life in service to her loved ones, husband, children and grand-children 
and others about her, deeming no sacrifice too great for the comfort and 
well-being of her family.  Her life was of that beautiful type that so freely 
gives itself for others in the most modest and unostentatious way.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Vaughan were married just before the Civil War* and three years ago had 
celebrated their golden wedding.  Returning from four years of gallant service 
for the South, Mr. Vaughan as a merchant in Franklin, and later as a banker 
and at present the head of the well-known house of Vaughan & Company, became 
one of the most prominent and successful business men of this section, and 
those who were most familiar with their more than half a century of wedded 
life testify that Mrs. Vaughan admirably fulfilled the ideal conception of a 
faithful and loving helpmeet. 

   Besides her husband, she is survived by two children, General C.C. Vaughan 
and Mrs. R.J. Camp; six grand-children, Misses Cora, Sarah and Kathryn Vaughan 
and Cecil Vaughan, III, Vaughan Camp and Antioinette Camp.  She leaves a 
brother, Mr. J.P. Gay, this family as well as that of her husband being one of 
the oldest in Franklin and among those who have been most instrumental in the 
up building of this town and section.  Another brother Littleton A. Gay, died 
in 1905, and a sister, Mrs. Ella V. Crumpler, in 1911, both of whom were 
residents of Franklin. 

   Funeral services were held from the residence in High Street Saturday 
afternoon at 4 o’clock, conducted by Rev. C.E. Blankenship of the Methodist 
church.  Mr. Blankenship was assisted by Rev. C.C. Wertenbaker, a former 
pastor of the Franklin M.E. Church, and an old friend of Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan. 
The interment followed in Poplar Spring Cemetery where the mound was covered 
with many beautiful floral tributes of love and sympathy. 

   The active pall-bearers were Cecil C. Vaughan III and Vaughan Camp, 
grandchildren of Mrs. Vaughan; Joe Bynum Gay, J.R. Kello, Jr., R. Henry Cobb, 
T.D. Boone, Jr., George O. Watkins and J.F. Bryant. 

   Honorary pallbearers were Col. L.R. Edwards, P.D. Camp, Jno. C. Parker, 
W.T. Pace, J.R. Knight, J.E. Moyler, A.L. Gardner, Dr. W.H.L. Goodman, R.H.B. 
Cobb, James E. Sebrell, E.S. Eley, D.A. Holland, J.R. Howell and W.W. Ellis. 

   R.B. Turner, B.L. Holt and Jno V. Boone were in charge of the flowers. 

        The universal sympathy of our townspeople goes out to the 
        sorely bereaved husband and other members of the family in 
        their loss.  The life that the departed one lived and the 
        gracious promises of the Master will comfort them in their 
        bereavement.
