Here is the story from Joseph G. Vaughn of Entiat. His father Joe
was 19 and wanted to get married to Ella Hand, daughter of Professor
Hand. He wrote 21 on a piece of paper. Put it in his shoe. Thus he was
over 21. He died 3 month after the wedding. The baby was named Joseph
G. The mother Ella died when Joseph was about 3 1/2. Therefore Joseph
was raised by his grandfather Cornelius #2 Vaughn. At a young age he
displayed a natural talent for music. While still living with his
grandfather, he made a stringed instrument. Old Grand pa said, "Joe, if
you play the Lord's music, you can keep that instrument. If I catch you
playing the Devil's music, its going into the stove." Apparently, the
only difference between the Lord's music and the Devil's music was what
grandpa liked and didn't' like.
When grandpa went out to plow, young Joe played the tunes of the
day. When Grand pa came into the house he played the religious song
grandpa loved. One day grandpa came in, Joe did not hear him. Of course
he was playing the popular songs of the day. True to his word, the
instrument was thrown into the stove for disposal.
(Story told by Joe Vaughn, who is the son of David Robert Vaughn and Grandson of Joseph George Vaughn.)

Notes for FLORENCE LILLIAN RICE:
This was written by Jim Vaughn:
Forence Lillian Rice Vaughn was born on December 1, 1894 in Merrill, WI. Her family came to Wenatchee in 1902 and she grew up there.
She graduated from Bellingham Normal School with a lifetime teaching certificate and taught school for a total of 27 years.
She met her husband to be while she was teaching in the Entiat Valley and Boarding with the Vaughn family. There were 9 Vaughn children, so the Vaughn's represented a good portion of the school enrollment.
She married Stanley George Vaughn on June 12, 1920 and raised a family of 5 children.
When Stanley was injured in 1936, Florence returned to teaching to support the family.
Teaching jobs were scarce for so many years. She had to teach rural schools like Pitcher Canyon, Chesaw, WA (near Oroville) and 25 mile creek on Lake Chelan.
During this time, her family was split. The younger two lived at school with her and the 3 older sons were at home. She would return often to supervise the Homefront. She many times drove a 1938 Buick 185 miles thru snow and storms, putting on her own chains to make sure that all was well at home!
Later in 1943, she and her sister in-law, Christine (Peterson) Vaughn pioneered the teaching of Handicap Children in Wenatchee.
She finally retired in 1958 and she and Stanley moved to Seattle.
Stanley died in 1969 of a massive heart attack. She spent her later years at the Northwest Danish Home and Burien Terrace Nursing Home in Seattle.
Here is her obit:
