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, 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.
