Jim Vaughn as he was know to his many friends was a man of a pleasing personality, being honest, kind and generous. He bore the greatest love for his family, his home and many friends.
He became a member of the Methodist church a good many years ago and has lived much like God would have us live, always ready to do for others, asking little in return, kind, patient and true, while we know he would like to have lingered longer with family and friends, we also know he could not have feared to go forth to meet his master.
Mr. Vaughn died at Erie at the home of a daughter where they went several months ago to spend the winter.
The remains were brought here Saturday and the funeral services were held in the M.E. Church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by the Pastor Rev. V.H. Thompson and burial in Lake Creek Cemetery.
