From Boone County Recorder newspaper - October 9, 1901, page 5, column 3: Golden Wedding October 24, 1901 Mr. and Mrs. A.G. Vaughn (should be J.G. Vaughn) celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage. Many friends were present to add to the enjoyment of the occasion. Gifts of various kinds were made to the host and hostess by them. The occasion was a glad one. There were nine children born to Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn, and seven of these are still living. These all were present with the exception of J. B. (John Butch), of Covington, who was detained by an unavoidable providence. The names of the children are as follows: Martha, who is married to W.B. Tanner (should be W.R.?) ; Wm. Ollie, who died early in life ; Carrie, who is married to H.D. Tanner (should be H.L.) ; Arthur C., of Cincinnati, who married Lenora Senour ; J.B., of Covington, (John Butch) who married Lizzie Bethel ; Alonzo, of Canton City, Colo., who married Bettie Tanner ; George, who died in 1894 ; Orville, who married Laura Sebra (should be Sebree) ; Elbert G., who married Maggie Hines. Mr. Vaughn was born Oct. 3d, 1833, and Mrs. Vaughn, June 20th, 1837, and early in life joined hands in wedlock and together have made now a journey of fifty years, sharing each others sorrows and joys. After dinner the friends gathered together and spent a few moments in a religious service consisting of singing, address and prayer by the pastor, and bible reading by their son, Arthur C. The father and mother then took the floor and all present passed by and congratulated them on reaching the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage and wished that many days may yet be added to their lives filled with the blessings and joys.

below is abstracted from Boone County Recorder newspaper article -- (for full article see notes under Orville Vaughn)..Dec. 28, 1904 "Orville Vaughn is a son of John Vaughn, of Florence, who has had three sons to meet tragic deaths. About 20 years ago a son just large enough for that kind of work went to the pasture to catch a horse, and being gone too long was sent for and was found lying in the field, having been kicked by a horse. The child lived but a few hours. (This had to have been William Oliver but longer than 20 years ago) Several years ago a son who was brakeman on the Q & C railroad (he was the son that died 20 years ago in 1894), was killed in a collision, and last Thursday another was shot accidentally and killed."

The below is copied from Paul Tanner's "Some of My Kentucky Ancestors" booklet : --John G. Vaughn, son of William, was born in Campbell County October 3, 1833. He is apparently the son in the 5-10 age bracket listed in the 1840 Campbell County census under William Vaughn. William died about 1844 and his widow remarried. The six know Vaughn children were scattered. John G. 16 was living with his grandfather Abraham in Boone County in 1850. By that time, John G. had four half sisters named Johnson as well as his five full sisters. --Abraham Vaughn, his grandfather died in Ohio (?) September 25, 1851. On October 1, 1851 John G. married Tabitha (should be Talitha) Reed --he was two days short of his 18th birthday, she was 14. Aaron Zimmerman, her guardian, signed his bond. One wonders if they were planning on getting married and Abraham's death precipitated it because John G. had no other place to go. --John G. Vaughan appears on the 1853 and 1857 tax rolls as owning no real estate. He may have been a tenant farmer. They may have been living with Aaron Zimmerman. A William O. Vaughn was born to the couple June 27, 1855; Carrie Naomi (my grandmother) November 25, 1858 -- both in Boone County. --John G. moved back to Campbell County, appearing in the Alexandria District in the 1860 census. He is listed as 26, farmer, with real estate of $1600; Talitha was 22, Martha 6, William 4 and Caroline (my grandmother) 1. Martha was counted twice that year, being also listed under Aaron Zimmerman in Boone County. I find no further mention of William O. --February 4, 1864, John G. Vaughn and three of his sisters sold their interest in their uncle Larkin's land. All were living in Campbell County. --It appears that John G. returned to Boone County in 1872. On April 15, Aaron and Martha Zimmerman deeded him 40 acres with the provisions that he would pay $30 on 12/25/72; $60 on 12/25/73; $90 on 12/25/74; and $120 on 12/25/75 and each year thereafter that Aaron should live. Aaron was 69 and perhaps needed the help of the younger people (John G. was 38) to manage the farm. John G.'s daughter Martha had married Willam Tanner. --April 10, 1873, Aaron sold John G. another 30-1/2 acres for $1525. --In 1885 John G. Vaughn was listed with 74 acres valued at $1850 and personal property of $190--paying $10.45 in taxes. --Martha Zimmerman died in 1886 and Aaron in 1893. He willed one-half of his property to John G.'s daughters, Martha and Carrie, and one-half to Susan and Sarah House. John G. bought the 19 acres. Nov. 23, 1893, the day John G. bought Aaron's land, he sold 4 acres to his daughter, Carrie Naomi adjoining her husband for $203.43. These were a part of my grandfather's farm until his death in the 1930's. --In 1880 John G.'s son, John B. 16, was working on the farm of his uncle, William Tanner. William Tanner had four children at that time. Arthur 1, was one of the few first cousins of my father that I knew. I knew his children. One, Arthur Jr., was cashier of the Florence Deposit Bank and his widow, Wanda, is currently working a history of the many Tanners. --By 1896, John G. had accumulated sufficient property to list 107 acres for taxation, with 30 acres of corn and 2 acres of tobacco. His sons, Orville, Alonzo and and Elbert did not list any real estate. --In the 1900 census John G. 67 and Talitha 63 had their son Elbert 26, daughter-in-law Maggie 25 and two small grandchildren in their household. Elbert was listed as farm laborer. They had been married 49 years. --About 1905 John G.'s son, Orville, born 1870, was killed in a hunting accident involving his nephew, Chester Tanner (my uncle). I have heard they were crossing a fence. My grandfather, Henry L. Tanner, was appointed guardian for Orville's minor son, Ransom O. Vaughn (born 1890) in April, 1906. George C. Barlow and E. O. Rouse went his bond. --From Paul Tanner's Notes of items published in the Boone County Recorder newspaper: =BCR date published ......2-8-1905.........After a sojourn at Florence for about two years, John Vaughn moved back to his farm last week. (John Sr. or John Jr?) ......6-14-1905......Uncle John Vaughn who has been quite sick, is improving. A.C. Vaughn of Pleasant Ridge, Oh., visited his father Sunday. ......7-19-1905......John G. Vaughn quite poorly again. ......8-23-1905......J. G. Vaughn is quite poorly. ......9-29-1905......Uncle John Vaughn is very poorly. ......9-27-1905......Mr. J. G.

Vaughn, who is quite poorly, again on Sunday. .....11-29-1905....Elbert Vaughn of Dayton is at the bedside of his father, Uncle John Vaughn, who is in a very critical condition and his friends entertain some doubt as to his recovery. ......12-6-1905.....Mrs. Talitha Vaughn of Gunpowder neighborhood will have a considerable sale of personal property on the 11th beginning at 1 pm. Terms made known day of sale. Horses, cows, hogs and numerous articles of farm implements will be sold. ......12-6-1905.....A.G. Vaughn of Pleasant Ridge, Oh., and his brother Elbert of Dayton were in Burlington Saturday on business pertaining to the estate of their deceased father, John G. Vaughn, one of Boone's oldest and most worthy citizens who departed this life last week.
--When John G. Vaughn died November 29, 1905, there were only 67 acres remaining. The dower was 19 acres. The remainder was sold at the courthouse door for $2000. After the debts were paid, there was little left for the six children and infant grandson.
--February 21, 1906 - Boone County Recorder newspaper, page 5, column 3 : Commissioner's Notice Carrie N. Tanner &c., plaintiffs. vs. Notice G.G. Hughes, adm'r, &c, defendants. Notice is hereby given all persons having claims against the estate of J.G. Vaughn, deceased, to present same to the undersigned, proven according to law. The Master will begin his sittings to hear proof of claims in his office in Burlington, on Feb. 10, 1906, and continue from day to day (Sunday excepted) until March 17, 1906. J.A. Duncan, M.C.
--July 20, 1908, Talitha gave son, A.C. Vaughn, power of attorney "to look after, control, cultivate, collecting rents due her on the small tract set aside to her from J.G. Vaughn." --This arrangement must not have worked. January 12, 1909, four of the children and their spouses filed a deed with the following provisions: --John G. Vaughn died intestate survived by: Talitha C. Vaughn, widow Carrie N. Tanner, Elbert G. Vaughn, John B. Vaughn, Arthur C. Vaughn, Alonzo Vaughn, Martha Tanner, Ransom O. Vaughn, infant grandson --Widow has been allotted her dower and "is now old and infirm and desires to live and make her home during the remainder of her life with her said son, Elbert G. Vaughn." "..said Elbert G. Vaughn promising and agreeing to take his said mother, Talitha C. Vaughn, into his home and there keep and provide for her during the remainder of her natural life as a member of this family, board, lodging, fuel, clothes and wash and mend same and in sickness provide her with the services of his family physicians and necessary medicine (but not Specialists or Surgeons) and pay therefor and nurse and care for her as such member of his family; and at her death bury her in a plain but decent, fitting and orderly manner at a cost of not exceeding the sum of $75 and pay therefor, and a lien is hereby retained to each grantor on the land hereinafter conveyed to secure the performance of the undertakings herein entered into by said Elbert G. Vaughn" Signed: Carrie N. and Henry L. Tanner, Boone County Martha and W. R. Tanner, Boone County Arthur C. & Lennie J. Vaughn, Hamilton County, OH Alonzo and Bettie Vaughn, Fremont County, CO --This meant that Elbert owned five-sevenths of the property.
--Talitha died March 29, 1909
--April 26, 1909, John B. Vaughn and wife of Campbell County, Ky, conveyed their one-seventh interest to Elbert for $100.
--Nov. 17, 1911, Ransom O. Vaughn, unmarried, deeded his one-seventh interest to Elbert for $100.
--October 15, 1914, Elbert G. and Maggie M. Vaughn sold the 19.86 acres. They were already living in Campbell County. They were the last of my immediate branch of the Vaughn family to live in Boone County.
