Hello Sue Ann,
So it appears that two Thomas sisters married two Vaughn brothers. That
would make our ancestors double cousins! The photo I have is the daughter of
lee cooper and Lugenia Thomas. The girl is Reginia Cooper. My mother told
me the other picture I have is Malinda Thomas with her sister Lugenia.
Malinda Thomas had two sisters that were deaf.
About 15 years ago my aunt and I went to Pennington gap and met some of the
people that lived there. My aunt took notes and pictures of everyon
would love for you to speak with my aunt and Mother. They both live in
Monroe Michigan and unfortunately are not in the 21st century...no e-mail.
However, they are sending me some information to share with you...
My Mother is 70 and my aunt is 74...I have been told a lot of the family
history. Actually, that is what I like and I try to find out as much as I
can.
I know that Carr Vaughn and Malinda Thomas met in a logging camp arou
Laurel County Kentucky. So I imagine the same is true of your ancestors.
Malinda and Carr used to make work pants for the loggers. Carr would cut the
denim and Malinda did the sewing. When the logging began to go bust, he did
some farming and worked in the coal mines.
I know that Carr and Malinda lived in several places, when Malinda died she
was eating a cucumber, and of course "that's what killed her" it had nothing
to do with her being obese, well past her child bearing years and that she
was pregnant!
At some point Carr along with his son Arthur (all of the Vaughn' boys went by
their middle names) built a house in a coal mining camp, Premier and built it
on stilts so it would be level with the rail road trestles. Arthur had the
idea to put a pool hall their and put a ramp out to the trestles, so when the
train would stop to take on water and such...people would just walk off the
train and spend their money.
They never planned on that the railroad would not let them build a ramp. So
Carr was left with a very odd looking house!
Arthur Vaughn was probably a genius, and a paranoid schizophrenic. He had
very little education, and yet could read music, taught himself how to play
the piano, and built his own radio transmitter, and knocked one of the
Knoxville radio stations off the air for three days before the FAA found him
and took his transmitter....
He married Lula Carroll sister of my grandmother's husband Johnny Carroll.
They had a bunch of children and most of them were named after European
capitol cities. They traveled around the country during the 20's and he
helped set up radio stations. He must have made pretty good money because my
aunt has all of these picture post cards of their family and their touring
car and all of the places they went.
When the depression hit, they were in Colorado and the money ran out. Arthur
had some sort of nervous breakdown....and was committed to the state
hospital, staying there for the rest of his life until he died sometime in
the 1960s ... His wife and children stayed in boulder Colorado..she liv
well past 100 .
Well, anyway... I have always found stories about the Vaughn's very
interesting they were different from a lot of the people in the area.
