No burial date or place of burial is noted, but she is in Salem Cemetery
Also her Death Certificate notes father as John T. Vaughn and mother Rebecca Brummett - John T. and Rebecca were not married; John T. was married to Eliza Vaughn. I believe this to be an informant's error; John T. would be her brother-in-law, her father was William.
In the 1910 Laurel County KY Census she is listed as the "mother of 10; 5 living"

Here are some "receipts", recipes, that would have been in the local newspaper during her lifetime.
Mountain Echo newspaper, London, KY
Friday 20 August 1875;Front Page, Column 4
Lemon Pie With Raisins*
Take the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one egg well beaten, one cup of sugar; two tablespoonsful of corn starch dissolved in two thirds of a cup of sweet milk, one cup of raisins carefully washed, and butter one half the size of an egg. Mix and bake with an under crust.
*remember - there was no such thing as "seedless" grapes, hence - no "seedless" raisins. A housewife of this time would know to wash and sort carefully to pick out moldy raisins and to remove the seeds from each raisin before cooking with these!

TEA CAKES - Five eggs, two cups sugar, one cup of butter, three pints of flour; flavor to taste. Roll thin, cut and bake in a quick oven.
Lemon puddings - Two eggs, one cup of white sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, one teacupful of water, juice one lemon. Grate the rind of the lemon into the sugar. Beat eggs separately. Add eggs just when ready to bake and bake in their crust. The above proportion for one pie.
