Webber
Vaughn, 70 years old, dropped dead at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith in
Corbin Thursday while eating lunch. Mr.
and Mrs. Vaughn and their son (Charles
Alexander Vaughn) were enroute from Paint Lick, Ky., to Williamsburg to
visit Mr. Vaughn's brother, J. M. Vaughn, who has been in ill health for
several months.
Mr.
Vaughn's body was brought here and prepared for burial. The funeral services were conducted Friday
afternoon from the First Christian Church with Rev. J. T. McGarvey officiating. Interment was in the Barbourville
Cemetery. The pallbearers were Douglas
Fuller, Tom Fuller, Hobert Williams, F Moore, R. V. Vaughn, and George McNeil.
Surviving
Mr. Vaughn are his wife, Daisy Pope Vaughn, and six children. The deceased was a member of the Christian
Church. He was born and reared in this
county and is well known and highly repected by Knox County citizens.
J. M.
Vaughn, 82 years old, the brother whom Mr. Webber Vaughn was enroute to visit,
died Saturday night at his home in Williamsburg. Although he had been ill for several months, the cause of his
death was mostly due to heart failure caused by the shock sustained when
hearing of his brother's sudden death at Corbin.
He was
also well known here and was also born and reared in this county. These men were brothers of the late Alex
Vaughn who resided in this city until his death a few years ago. Both men had a number of relatives in this
county.
Funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the Christian Church in
Williamsburg, Rev. Drowota in charge.
He is survived by one brother, T. H. Vaughn of Corbin. There were 14 children in the family of
which these men were members.
Mr.
Vaughn is also survived by three sons, Ed. Vaughn of Corbin, George and Tom of
Williamsburg, and one daughter, Mrs. Gladys Haynes of Mississippi.
