Welcome to My site!

Hello there family and extended family!

I WAS trying to get a site up and got impatient. I am establishing this site for my friends and family! Please do NOT copy my pictures and information and put them on your website and post them online without my permission. I have spent countless hours on scanning, typing, cropping and gathering info. My personal email is bulldogsnoble5@gmail.com and welcome any and all corrections, suggestions, comments and questions. I will be posting both sides of my family. If you have ANY questions, just let me know. I do and will privatize all my family members that are still alive. Unless they have passed on, (your) their information will remain private.

Also, if you found my site by web surfing and am wondering where I fit in to the Vaughn's, here is how I am connected:

I am Elizabeth Culberson Noble. My mother is Roberta L.(Vaughn) Culberson, who is the daughter of Alfred Tennyson Vaughn, the granddaughter of Joseph George Vaughn, great-granddaughter to Joseph Thomas Vaughn, great-great-granddaughter to Cornelius Vaughn Jr., Cornelius Vaughn Jr was the son of Cornelius Vaughn Sr. Cornelius Vaughn Sr., was the son of James Cornelius Vaughan/Vaughn and James Cornelius is believed to be one of three immigrant sons to Lord Robert and Lady Vaughan of Isle of Wight, England. When you look around my site you will find the story behind that.

Also, if you found my site by web surfing and am wondering where I fit in to the Herzog's/Mishcke's, here is how I am connected:

I am Elizabeth Eileen (Culberson) Noble. My mother is Roberta L. (Vaughn) Culberson. Her mother (my maternal grandmother) was Naomi Eileen (Herzog) Vaughn. Her Parents were Cicero Eric and Clara Fredericka (Mischke) Herzog. Cicero's parents were George and Sarah Satira (Outlaw)Herzog. Clara's Parents were Frank and Anna (Topfer) Mishcke.

God Bless!

Paul Andrew Herzog obituary

2010-12-12T17:48:00.000-08:00

Paul Andrew Herzog, formerly of Bothell, passed away peacefully in the wee hours of Sunday morning, November 28, 2010, in his Camano Island home. Born in August 10, 1925, grew up in the Depression, Paul served in the Army in WWII, and came home to marry, raise a family of five and live a life full of love and laughter.

He was preceded in death in 1992 by his wife of 40 years, Elaine B. (Anderson) Herzog, and will be laid to rest next to her at Sunset Hills of Bellevue. He is survived by his five children, Kathy, Steve, Karen, Stan and Stewart, and by his precious sister Esther, to whom we extend gratitude for so much loving care of our father Paul. He considered his offspring and extended family to be his greatest treasure, including each of his 11 grandchildren, 31 nieces and nephews, and large network of cousins, in-laws and shirt-tail relatives, most of whom he stayed in contact with up to the end. He was the most faithful kind of friend. If you were in this network, then you probably got a Christmas card every year from Paul.

We will be celebrating Paul’s life on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010, at Camano Chapel (867 S., West Camano Drive, Camano Island, WA 98282) beginning at 2 pm.

Blog Etiquette

2010-06-12T15:37:00.000-07:00

When I established this blog, I was excited to share things with my distant cousins and my family. I was excited about putting pictures and any and all information on my blogs (I had 3). ALL I asked was that if you wanted copies of my information/pictures, that you ASK PERMISSION and if you wanted it I would give it to you. Not only that, if it is posted elsewhere, there is a certain blog etiquette: YOU GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. I found out this last week, to my surprise that not only were pictures STOLEN and without my permission (they ARE copyrighted!!), but there was no credit as to where they got them. Not only that stories that I had written were also stolen (from interviews, etc). Unfortunately, some people have to spoil it for the rest. So, I have deleted my other two blogs, and I have spent hours going through, and taking down ALL of my pictures from this site. I have literally hundred, almost over a thousand of pictures, but it is impossible for me to put a copyright stamp on all of them. I also have tons of documents. I have all of the genealogical information from Dottie (for the Vaughn side) and I will put out some of the details but not all. Now, if you need more info, etc, you can email me @ my email address up top.

Thanks

Flora Louise Vaughn Overman

Descendants of Flora Louise Vaughn

Generation No. 1

1. FLORA LOUISE7 VAUGHN (JOSEPH GEORGE6, JOSEPH THOMAS5, CORNELIUS4, CORNELIUS3, JAMES CORNELIUS2, LORD ROBERT1 VAUGHAN) was born August 21, 1898 in Medical Lake, WA (Spokane), and died January 07, 1984 in Seattle, King Co, WA. She married ORA OVERMAN. He died April 10, 1979.

This is a story about Flora Louise Vaughn. This was sent by her daughter, Linda.

Where to begin describing FLORA LOUISE, a beloved mother and grandmother? Perhaps with what she loved. She loved the Entiat Valley in the Washington State with all its wildflowers in spring, wind in the leaves, sound of the river rushing over the rocks, picnicking "up the Icicle", poetry, literature, traveling vicariously through travel documentaries, gardens, sweet new mornings, her children, grandchildren and family. Walking (everywhere)--especially to the library--this kept her straight and strong and probably helped through her 3 kinds of cancer. She loved playing the piano that her brother William (Bill)
helped her acquire in her early marriage to Ora Anthony Overman in 1921.

Most of all, she loved, leaned and lived all her life on the foundation of her Christian faith gained from her parents Joseph and Eva (Jenny) Vaughn at the "little brown church in the wildwood" along the Entiat River, which empties into the larger Columbiana River in Eastern Washington. Flora's faith was her enduring comfort and joy. Several of Flora's children--like many Vaughns-were baptized in that sparkling river.

As Wenatchee High School Valedictorian of her class in 1919, Flora was unable to use the scholarship she was awarded to Whitman College the following autumn when she became ill with tuberculosis. She later attended a business school in Wenatchee and spent many years in bookkeeping positions associated with the fruit industry, the last being Standard Fruits Co. in Wenatchee. She worked very hard to support her family whether it was in the orchard, garden, home or office and quietly kept in her bible and Indian quotation referencing not to judge a person without walking a mile in their mocassins. Flora remembered welcoming as a young child the Costal Indians who would pass by her parents' homestead up the Entiat Valley enroute to their seasonal hunting. They would stop by, be offered food by the Vaughns, and go on their way. (Once they gave a gift of a doll to Flora.)

Five of the six children Flora and Ora raised had their earliest memories in Entiat before moving to Wenatchee for their high school years. After Grandma Jenny passed away from diabetes, Grandpa Joe went to live with Flora and Ora in their 1016 N. Wenatchee Avenue home. Grandpa passed away in 1943, only a few months after Linda was born. Sister Janet remembers Uncles William and Elmer Vaughn taking turns helping Flora care for Grandpa Joe in the last of his illness as Flora also had her day job.

Children of FLORA VAUGHN and ORA OVERMAN are:

Herzog Post Cards

2009-11-07T15:11:00.000-08:00

You know, there are little surprises and little gifts in life that sometimes come your way. Well, I received an email from someone that had gotten some post cards from my Great Aunt Ruth's estate. She had NO idea that anyone would want them and was ::gasp:: selling them and when she realized that someone in the family indeed DID want them, she returned them. Aunt Esther got possession of them and mailed them to my mom. I now have them and am scanning them. I will tag them with various labels, depending on who they are from. They are ALL written to my Great Grandfather, Cicero Eric Herzog. To me, they are a precious gem and I am thankful to have them and to be able to share them all with you...my loved ones. There are quite a few of them, and I am grieved that there were a lot of them sold. It will take time for me to scan all of them, but I hope you all enjoy them.

Well we are home. We got home yesterday afternoon and it is back to our routine. We had a very busy time but it was memorable. We not only did the VAUGHN reunions but we also had a HERZOG picnic as well. I am getting together slide shows at this point for both of them.

For those of you who weren't there or didn't get a chance I wanted to let everyone know that I still have DVD's available. I have BOTH VAUGHN footage and HERZOG. They come with cd's of pictures that I have scanned from different collections, including from cousin Dottie. They are $20 including shipping. For those that don't know, my grandparents had a video camera (which some didn't know they had) and we spent over $750 having their 36 reels of 8 mm film transferred to DVD. It starts in 1943 and moves forward.

Also we will be making DVD/CD copies of the pictures and film we took at BOTH reunions. If you want copies of those, they are $10 including shipping. You can email me at bulldogsnoble5@gmail.com and let me know. I appreciate it!!

Memoirs by Roma "Daisy" Stanley Douglas

2009-06-27T18:19:00.000-07:00

Now some of my family are wondering, (if they don't know) who this is. Roma "Daisy" Stanley was the child of Eva Stanley (Vaughn) when she was 18 years old and was my Great Aunt and a half sister to my grandfather Alfred Tennyson Vaughn and his siblings. I have been told by Aunt Eveleen's daughter, that before her death, Eva intentionally burned many letters. Since it was well known that Eva and Daisy wrote letters up until Eva's death in 1940, I am convinced that some if not all of those letters were the correspondence between Eva and Daisy. Thanks to Larry Robinson, a Stanley descendant, he has provided me with memoirs of "Aunt Roma Daisy". Hope you enjoy!

Roma E. Stanley Douglas wrote the followings history of the John Stanley Sr. family and immediate relations as she remembered and could gather at different times. She apologized in her memoirs for the lack of dates and other facts about John Stanley Sr. because the old family Bible was destroyed by fire many years ago. Ironically she was the daughter not of the John Stanley side, but of the Hiram Stanley branch. But Eveline Stanley, daughter of William Lindley Stanley who was the son of Old Hiram Stanley, gave her child up to William D. Stanley, a cousin.

Roma said that John and a brother and sister came to this country from England when they were young. However, other information would seem to indicate that John was born right here in the USA, probably in Virginia since he was born in 1793, a year after his father Isaac married Elizabeth Brooks around Goochland VA it is believed. It was also in 1793 that Isaac set out for the Ohio Territory to establish a farm and send for his wife once the homestead was set up.

Roma wrote the following:
"The brother Archelaus lived at Marietta, Ohio for a while. Then married Jane Bowers and they located in Athens County, OH. There may have been more brothers and sisters. Eventually John Stanley Sr. located on Irvin Creek. I have been told that he lived for a time in the trunk of a large tree. I can remember the immense tee stump that I was told that he lived in, It was a Sycamore tree and stood on the bank of Irvin Creek near the Ford where people crossed to go to the Jackson Stanley Home.

Jackson Stanley was one of John Stanley Sr.'s boys. The hollow tree was large enough for three or four yearling steers to get into out of the storms. I remember where two log houses used to stand near where he later built a very nice large brick house. And he may have built the log houses and lived in one before he built the Brickhouse. There was two log barns there, one larger than the other.

The smaller barn had sides built across one end and side. John dug a very deep well and walled it up with rock, it had an abundance of clear cold water. The water was always salty. All live stock loved the water.

John built a small one room stone house there out of hewed sand stone. It had a loft in it where the men slept sometimes. It was roofed with clapboards, and the roof extended out over the wall.

I have been told that John Stanley Sr. got the clay to make his brick some where on the farm. I do not know where at. But I do know where the kilns stood, where they burned the brick. There were two kilns between the house and the road. The house had four large rooms, and a double hallway through the middle of the house. It was two story, with an open stairway going up from east side of hallway.

The stairway had a heavy banister, and children always loved to slide down it. Each room was 32x36 feet and the hallway must have been ten feet wide. Three steps down from top of stairway was a landing about four feet square. Turn left three steps into upper hallway which was large enough to set in a bed when needed.

Each of the four brick rooms had a large brick fireplace at the outside wall for burning logs, and each had iron cranes built in for cooking or heating water. The cranes could be swung in or out of a fireplace. Sometime later a frame kitchen and woodshed was built across back of the brick house, with a screened in porch. The woodshed did not have a floor in it. Wood and logs were used for heating and cooking. On this large screened in porch stood a big octagonal cupboard covered outside with perforated tin and had wide doors. It had four large shelves which was on a swivel and could be turned easily. The whole cupboard could be turned also. It must have been seven and a half feet tall. It almost reached the ceiling and about six or six and a half feet across. It was used to set milk and butter in, also for storing food in. A large porch was built across the front of the house. It did not go all the way across the front. A Virginia Creeper was planted at east end of porch and grew all over end of porch and end of house. The basement and foundation of the house were of large hewed sandrock. The basement had seven or eight rooms. It helped hold up the house. I only remember one room that had a door and it was used to store vegetables and fruits in. Most of the other rooms did not have doors. A stairway went up into the big hall. There was also a wide outside opening that had big steps hewed out of of sand rock, big enough to roll barrels of cider in. The basement was higher on one side (east side) and never had good drainage. So as far back as I can remember some water was always there. Several cisterns have been dug there at different times..But none were satisfactory so very long. I never knew why. Most of the drinking water was carried from a never failing spring under a big rock up the hollow.

Since the brick house was built the Public Road was changed and put on other side of Irvin Creek. Then the road up to the house was on low ground. It was never a good road, rutty and some quicksand in it. Never much shade tress around the buildings since the virgin timber was taken off. East of the Brick house down near the well house was na old log house and east of log house was a log barn. John Stanley Sr. may have used these buildings for a time. Over to left of brick house was another log house ((small)) and below that was a run. Across the run was a fair sized garden, and a wooden foot bridge across the run, which often washed out during heavy rains. These tow log houses and log barn were nearly rotted down as far back as I can remember. But the foundations were there and the logs where they had rotted and feel in. I do not know the size of the farm originally but it was several hundred acres. In those days he was considered a very wealthy man. (See Roma's scrapbook for picture of the old brick before a cyclone tore off the roof and second story).

John Stanley Sr. was married four or five times, and was the father of nineteen children. Some died in infancy. I do not know who John Stanley Sr. married for his first and second wives. As far as I know these are the children by his first or second wife. -- Isaac, Jackson, Gordon, Mazie, Catherine, and Nancy. (Nancy may have been a half sister to these other children, or a step-sister). After these wives died he married Julia Grimes of Rutland, Ohio. To them were born - Archelaus Archer, William D, Felix A, Rebecca, Mary A, and Elizabeth, There were more children, but I do not know to which wife they belonged. When Gordon was a small boy he fell off top of a fence post and broke his neck. They always said he was a very pretty child. Jackson Stanley married Sarah Gooden and they raised these children - John and Washington. They had a little girl that only lived a few years.

John Stanley married Mary Bolin. There children were Earl Jackson, William Culbert, Charles Allen, Eugene, Virgil, Hobert, Roma Amanda, Robert, and Edward. Washingotn Stanely married Esse Rumfield of near Oak Ridge in Gallia County, Ohio and there children were - Willima Archie, Henry, Little Lyman Lish, Alvin, Sarah, Samuel and Dora. Isaac Stanley married Jane Hewett. There children were - Willima, Thomas, Julia and Mary. I do not know who Willima married. Thomas married Icebinda Hundell. I do not know names or how many children they had. They lived around Jeffersonville, Illinois. Mary married a man named Everett. They had a son Cephus and a baby girl that died in infancy. Mary later married William Porter.

Mazie married a McDonald (name may have been Kennard) I do not know how many children they had. I do know they had two boys. Mazie later married Joe Abbott and raised Stanley and Samantha who married a Brooks. Joe Abbott died. Mazie then married Daniel Brickles and raised Johiel, William and Elizabth (who married Byron Welch). There may have been more children. After Mazie got sick with cancer, Brickles was so mean to her that she left him and went to her half brother William where she died and Willima buried her on his lot at Burlingham, Ohio cemetery in Meigs County.

Sally Stanley married Floyd Davis. They raised Elizabeth (Bettty) who married Frank Adkins. They had twin girls and a son Franklin. Girls names were Made and Madge. One of them married Will Wyatt and the other twin lived with them. They lived at Albany, OH and had no children. Wyatt's father owned the Flour Mill near the Depot. Mill burned down several years ago. Sally and Floyd Davis had other children. I do not know how many others or there names. Most of them located in the West somewhere. Cathrine Stanley married Jacson Gilkey when she was 14 and he 19 years old. There children wee - John, Floyd, William, Andrew, Allie, Jesse, Janie, Annie, Nancy and Mazie.

Nancy Stanley married a man name of Saltz. They had children I do not know how many or there names. Archelaus Archer Stanley was a doctor. He married Aneliza Brooks. They lived at Rutland, Ohio. they never had any children, but adopted George Prall when he was four years old. They also raised a girl Arizona Pullins. They did not like the name, so had it changed to Roma Stanley. She married Royal Grimes.

William D. Stanley married Amanda Ruth Blackwood and had these children -- Willima Blackwood, Amanda Rachel, Clara Eva (Katie), Ray and Roma Ethyl (author of this document and adopted). Felix A .Stanely married Mary Elizabeth Sapp and raised these children -- Nora, Edgar, Beatrice and Bernice.

Rebeca Stanley married Johiel Alkire and raised these children -- Jackson, Archelaus, Johiel, Scott, Selim, Felix, Julie, Mary, and Jenny.

Mary Stanley married William Isaac Blackwood and had Willima (Little Will) and a girl that died. Isaac Willima Blackwood died in Andersonville Prison during the Civil War. Then Mary married Abbott Castle. He died and she then married Janas Castle. After his death she married Elias Story.

Aneliza Stanley married John Alkire, a cousin of Johiel Alkire. There children were Emma, who married Andrew Dye, Howard and Ray.

Up on the hill a little to the east at the Old Brick farmstead stand the family cemetery. Several people other than the family are buried up there. About all the grave stones have fallen over or broken up and covered over with dirt or vines and briers. The Stanley Sr. place was one of the very first settlements and is very much of a landmark.

Felix A. Stanley being the youngest son got the Home Place where the house stood. HE went heavily in debt for it and never go it all paid for. Felix was sick and not able to work for about four years before he died. While he was able to work he set out a large orchard apples, peaches, cherries, plums and pears. Also set out blackberries raspberries, and strawberries. Also grape vines. They have all been gone for several years. Felix had one son and three daughters. At Felix's death his son Edgar Stanely took over the farm and tried to pay off the debts. He had to quit school, but kept his three sisters in school. HE never got it all paid for. After the girls were married Edgar bout out their shares of the estate, going still farther in debt. He died before he got clear out of debt, leaving his wife and children. Gladys, Edgar's wife, stayed on farm with the children and waned their son Paul E. Stanley to have the farm. Paul was not very interested for a while but after he was married he decided to buy his sisters share of the place. Gladys and the girls have nearly paid out the indebtedness by this time, but the buildings are all badly in need of repair. Most of the fields grown up to weeds and briers. Nearly all cross fences gone and line fences badly in need of repair.

While Felix A. Stanley was still living he took the old frame part off the back of the brick house. He put in its place a Kitchen and dining room and two bed rooms up over kitchen and dining room made of frame. Edgar E. Stanley added a screened in back porch, and dug out a spring on hillside above house and put in some tile and piped water to house into a kitchen sink. The water was god, but very warm in summer as there was no shade tress or other shelter over the spring. Edgar worked hard, kept up his fences, and buildings best he could. After Edgar Eid the fences went down, place grew up to brush and weeds. The buildings and fences all needed repairs. Both girls were married and at that Paul was young and not much help to his mother.

About the middle of July in 1956 (some say the 14th and some the 17th) a terrible cyclone swept through Snowville. The worst that was ever known come down Irvin Creek. Blew roofs off several buildings and blew over a lot of trees and telephone lines. The Old Stanley Homestead was hit hardest of any place around Snowville. The two storms seen to meet there. One coming down Irvin Creek and the other coming down Flint Fork. A great deal of the roof and down nearly to the first floor was blown off the Brick house. The house seemed to have been twisted as almost all the rest of plastering fell off. A sheet of tin roofing blew through a power line pole that set in the yard cutting the pole in two. Blew roof of large grainery off. Some of the roof looked like it had been rolled up and dropped down at the side of the grainery. Most of the upper side of barn roof was blown off and scattered all over hillside clear down to Flint Fork Bridge.

A large Sycamore Tree down across the road looked like the limbs had been twisted off and lay all around the tree pointing in most all directions. As the storm went on it blew roof off the Mr. Harry Douglas (Ella) home near Darwin, Ohio. Also blew her garage clear of the hill and unroofed and damaged a lot of other places in the Darwin vicinity.

Paul E. Stanley now owns the John Stanley Sr. farm. And has remodeled the house. Ne took the rest of the top of the house and made it into a modern ranch type house. Paul added on a few rooms and a bath room and drained the basement and cements it. He also put in gas furnace. By adding on another room or two to the large brick room down creek Paul made a nice little apartment for his mother, Gladys Stanley. When Paul bought out his sisters his mother left in her share of farm, so she makes her home there. In 1954 a new bridge was put across Irvin Creek in front of the house and the road was widened and straightened a lot at that time.

The Willima D. Stanley homestead suffered a lot of damage to roofs blown off and windows broken and other damage. I was spending the night that this all took place at the home of my niece may Mason and her husband Rev. Headly and sons Paul and Russell. The two Mason boys had gone to a tent meeting at Athens, Ohio and were coming home when the storm struck.. I had gone upstairs to bed when the wind commenced so hard. The boys stopped car down at road. Paul Mason came on up in the rain. Just behind him a big maple tree blew over right behind him, blocking the gate to the house. When Russell came a little later he had to climb over the yard fence to get in as the tree had blocked the gate.

I had gone to my nieces the day before to pick some blackberries. Next morning May and I went up on the hill back of there house to see how much damage the storm had done there. Several large trees had been blown out by the roots, and a lot of smaller ones. While up there I showed May a cemetery there that she did not know was there. The tombs stones were all gone just a few hewed sand-stone markers left there. This cemetery has been forgotten for years, not fence around it. It is out in pasture field up on top of till above May Mason's House.

When I was a little girl I have been up there with the Hon Green girls (see photos in FTM scrapbook for Roma). At that time the Greens owned the farm and built the two story house. The cemetery is fairly large, and used to have a lot of tombstones there. I do n ot remember any of the names or the name of cemetery.

Mr. John Green used to have a large Apple orchard close to cemetery.. There could have been a hundred or more graves there. A great many years ago there was a public road up the hill near where the cemetery is and on out farther there was a schoolhouse. I didn't know name of Schoolhouse, but I have seen it.

Grandma's Spoons

2009-06-22T11:28:00.001-07:00

Some people contacted me through this site. Their descendant, Sarah Louise Hand was a mother(my great-great-great grandmother and wife to George R. Hand) to my great-great grandmother, Mary Louise Hand Vaughn. In their possession are spoons owned by both of them. I thank them for this picture and wanted to share it with all of you.

Here are the details on the spoons from the Hand relative:
The spoons and Mustard dip spoon with S.L.H. initials belonged to my great-grandmother, Sarah Louise Hand, all sterling silver.

The large sugar spoon belonged to my Aunt Mary Louise Hand Vaughn (who married Joseph Thomas Vaughn)

Life and Times of George R. Hand

2009-06-18T11:51:00.000-07:00

This is the Life and Times of George R. Hand. He was my paternal great-great-great grandfather, through his daughter Mary Louise Hand Vaughn. This essay was written by a Hand cousin, Carol and I thank her for the information and knew you guys would enjoy it too.

Life and Times
of the
Rev. George R. Hand

George R. Hand was an educator and evangelist and worked tirelessly for the organization and advancement of both public school in Cincinnati and its teachers and Christian Church on the western frontier. During the 1830’s and 40’s Cincinnati was rapidly advancing on all fronts and was a gathering place for many of the great minds in the West. Dr. Lyman Beecher opened the Lane seminary during 1838 (?) in the Walnut Hills. Prof. Calvin E. Stowe taught at Lane and married Dr. Beecher’s daughter, Harriet Beecher Stowe. Alexander Campbell visited Cincinnati many times promoting the “restoration of the primitive church.” Dr. Daniel Drake established the Medical College of Ohio in 1820; Dr. Albert Pickett was a teacher and author of Pickett’s Readers (1833) and W. H. McGuffey, author of McGuffey’s Readers (1836). These were the intellectual leaders, the educators, the religious leaders of the West. Alexander Campbell’s Restoration Movement was changing Christianity throughout the West. George R. Hand knew these people; worked with these people. Their discussions and ideas became the “Western Literary Society and Professional Teachers College” which helped create the public school system which now exists in Ohio.

Edward D. Mansfield, editor of the Cincinnati Chronicle and a member of the Western Literary Society and College of Professional Teachers, described it in 1860:

“About the year 1833, was founded what was called the “COLLEGE OF TEACHERS,” which continued ten years, and was an institution of great utility and wide influence. Its object was both professional and popular; to unite and improve teachers, and, at the same time, to commend the cause of education to the public mind. The former object might have been obtained by the meeting of practical teachers only, but the latter required that gentlemen of science and general reputation, who had weight with the community, should also be connected with it. Accordingly, a large array of distinguished persons took part in its proceedings; and I doubt whether in one association, and in an equal space of time, there was ever concentrated in this country, a larger measure of talent, of information, and of zeal. Among those who either spoke or wrote for it, were ALBERT PICKETT, the President, and for half a century an able teacher, Dr. Drake, the Hon. THOMAS SMITH GRIMKE, the Rev. JOSHUA I. WILSON, ALEXANDER KINMONT, JAMES H. PERKINS, Professor STOWE, Dr. BEECHER, Dr. ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, Arch. Bishop PRUCELL, President MCGUFFEY, Dr AYUDELOTTE, Mrs. LYDIA SIGOURNERY, and Mrs. CAROLINE LEE HENTZE…”

The first documented source we have for George R. Hand in Cincinnati is found in the Transactions of the (8TH) Annual Meeting of the Western Literary Institute and College of Professional Teachers for 1838, where at age 24, he is listed as Corresponding Secretary; in 1839, treasurer and in 1840 he was recording secretary. He was an active participant in many reports and discussions. The American Journal of Education lists his participation in the following annual meetings of the College of Teachers:

Hand, G. R. – Reports on Primary Instruction, 1839
Course of Instruction in common schools, 1840
10TH Annual Meeting - Cincinnati – Oct. 5 – 10, 1840
Report on “The definite objects for the action of the College” Prof. Stowe,
G. R. Hand et al
12th Annual Meeting – Louisville – Aug. 15- 20, 1842
Active participant in discussions on:
“The school laws and the proposed organization of a profession of
Educators”
“Bill concerning public Instruction”
“The various methods of education and Instruction”

The Catalogue for the Union Literary Society of Hanover College in Indiana lists
George Hand as a member in 1834, also as a teacher. Hanover College is a Presbyterian Liberal Arts College formed in 1827. In 1830 two student organizations, the Union Literary Society and the Philosphronian Literary Society were formed at Hanover College, each with their own libraries and reading rooms. The group held discussions and debates, papers were read and guest speakers brought in. In 1834 Hanover Preparatory School had 119 students and 101 students at Hanover College.
George is listed in the City Directories of Cincinnati as a teacher from 1839 to 1851 and from 1847 to 1852 he is listed as principal for the 11th District. In 1841 George R. Hand is listed on the Board of Directors of the Ohio Mechanics Institute which was a trade school that held annual industrial fairs until the civil war.

January 6, 1941, George married Miss Sarah Scudder who was also a school teacher in Cincinnati. Their eldest daughter, Mary Louisa was born Nov. 5, 1841, V. Ella was born about 1843 then came David about 1846, and finally George Pickett was born March 18, 1848.

At some point George became a member of the Christian Church. The followers of Thomas Campbell and his son Alexander were referred to as Campbellites. They sought to restore the primitive church which was independent and based on the Bible alone, discarding the rules and doctrines of the formal denominations. They believed in baptism by immersion. They called themselves Christians, Disciples of Christ, Church of Christ or just Disciples. In the late 1840’s, Alexander Campbell began writing in his journal, Millennium Harbinger, about the need to organize the Disciples in order to spread the message. This led David S. Burnet to organize the America Christian Bible Society.

On February 7, 1848, the following Act to Incorporate the American Christian Bible Society was ratified by the General Assembly of the House of Representative of the State of Ohio:

Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That David S. Burnet, James Challen, George R. Hand, Thurston Crane, B. S. Lawson, D. L. Talboth, William P. Stratton, George Tait, G. Vandausol, James Hopple and S. S. Clark and their successors, be and they are hereby created a body corporate and politic, with succession for thirty years, who shall be known by the name and style of the American Christian Bible Society; and by that name and their successors shall be capable of contracting and being contracted with, of suing and being sued in all courts of law and equity and elsewhere, with full power and authority to have and use a common seal, to receive donations and legacies, and secure the same, and to acquire, hold and occupy, and the same to sell and convey, all such real estate, not to exceed in value twenty-five thousand dollars, as maybe necessary and convenient for the accommodation of the association and the furtherance of its objects; and shall also have full power and authority to pass such bylaws, and to make and enforce all such rules and regulations for the government of such association, as they may deem for the welfare of the same, not contrary to any law of this or of the United State: Provided, however, that this association shall not engage in the business of banking.
Sec. 2. That the trustees and other officers be personally liable for labor done for said corporation.
JOSEPH S. HAWKINS
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
CHARLES B. GODDARD,
Speaker of the Senate

One year later the, on October 24, 1849 a National Convention of Christian Churches met in Cincinnati, Ohio. The American Christian Missionary Society was formed “as a means to concentrate and dispense the wealth and benevolence of the brethren of the Reformation in an effort to convert the world.” Alexander Campbell was elected president. This organization was to replace the Bible Society.
George was active in the Ohio State Teachers Association, serving on the executive committee. In 1852 he was elected 1st Vice President and appointed to serve on the finance committee.

The January, 1853, issue of “ Ohio Education Monthly: A Journal of Education” reports that:

“Mr. Geo. R. Hand, for more than seventeen years a Teacher in Cincinnati, has resigned his place as Principal of the School in the eleventh District, for the purpose of taking charge of a Female Seminary in Georgetown, KY. We can most heartily commend him and his excellent lady to the people of Kentucky, and feel assured that they will find him worthy of entire confidence.”

Little is known about George & Sarah’s time in Georgetown. By the 1860 Census the family is found in Maryville, Nodaway County, Missouri, with children Mary Louisa age 18, V. Ella age 16, David age 13 and George age 11. Also living with them is Nate Scudder age 11, who is probably related to Sarah but no further information is found about him. George and Sarah are both listed as teachers, Louisa as a student, and Ella as a housekeeper. This is the last time we find George Hand’s occupation listed as teacher. From this time forward he is very active as an evangelist and preacher, holding protracted meetings and organizing churches in northwest Missouri and Nebraska until moving to California in 1872 where he continued this work.

In the book “R. C. Barrow: His Life and Times” Rev. Barrow relates a story about traveling with George Hand which illustrates the difficulties of moving about from church to church. Having been challenged to a debate in Plattsburg, Nebraska, by a self-proclaimed “Cambellite killer,” Leonard Parker. Rev. Barrow accepted the challenge. “Knowing that Bro. Hand would wish to be present and believing that his counsel might be beneficial, I crossed the Missouri river and rode to Sydney [Iowa], intending to return with him to attend the discussion. Bro. Hand closed his meeting and we started back together, but when we reached the river at Kenosha, it was full of floating ice, and the ferryboat, a flat boat propelled by oars, had stopped running. Bro. Hand made the dangerous passage in a skiff, and I rode down the east bank, hoping to be able to cross with my horse by the steam ferry at Nebraska City, twenty miles below. When I reached Nebraska City the steam ferry was not only laid up for the winter, but crossing in a skiff was pronounced impracticable. Through a terrible winter storm I traveled on down the river opposite Brownville, and there in sight of my Nebraska home where the dear ones awaited my coming, sick disappointed, and thoroughly wretched, I was compelled to pass three weary days.”

After successfully overcoming his Methodist challenger, George R. Hand went on to hold a protracted meeting in Plattsburg and received eighteen new members in the church” Rev. Barrow also relates: “in the fall of 1865 Bro. G. R. Hand, of Missouri, came to the territory and was engaged in protracted meetings for some months, and afterwards preached at Nebraska City half a year. The first week in December, Brethren Hand, Dungan, and Judd…began a meeting at Rock Bluff. I came to the meeting after it had been in progress several days, and as Bro. Hand had an urgent invitation to hold a meeting at Sidney, Iowa, and Bro. Dungan desired to visit …Salt Creek, some forty miles west, I was left in charge of the meeting.”

Rev. Hand was possibly based in Maryville, Missouri, during this period or moved to Nebraska. In 1860 he attended the Franklin-Rush debate in Chillicothe, Missouri. Northwestern Missouri was not a safe place to live during the Civil War, besides the Union and Confederate armies; we find the guerilla bands of “Bloody” Bill Anderson, Quantrell, Jesse James and the Youngers terrorizing the country side. During the winter of 1864-65 Elder Hand held a protracted meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. He held occasional meetings at Bethany Church in Clinton County, Missouri, until 1867. After this we find him in Ray County, Missouri.

Elder G. R. Hand was preacher at the Elkhorn Christian Church in Richmond, MO. In August, 1867, a “protracted meeting” was conducted by Elder Hand and others to raise money and appoint a building committee for Pleasant View Christian Union Chapel in Ray County. After its completion the church was “duly Dedicated by Elder G. R. Hand, to divine service.” In 1870 he was pastor of the Gallatin Christian Church in Daviess County, MO.

On June 23, 1867, George and Sarah’s daughter Mary Louisa married Joseph Thomas Vaughn in Richmond, Missouri, by the end of the year Joseph T. had died of tuberculosis. They had a son, Joseph George Vaughn, born Mar. 22, 1968 in Richmond, Mo. The 1870 Census shows Louisa and son Joseph age 3, living with Cornelius and Mary Vaughn her husband’s grandparents in Richmond. The following is from the November 11, 1871 issue of the Richmond Conservatory:

“Sunday last, Rev. Waller preached the funeral sermon of Mrs. M. Louise Vaughn, daughter of Elder G. R. Hand of this city, at the Christian Church, and after religious services her remains were consigned to Richmond Cemetery to await the final resurrection. Mrs. Vaughn had resided here for nearly five years, and was beloved by all who knew her, for her Christian deportment and many virtues. But consumption had marked her for its victim, and after a long and painful illness, she sank quietly to rest on the night of the 3rd inst.”

During 1872, George R. removed to California; it is unknown whether he and his son, George Pickett Hand, went to California at the same time. In 1874, the Christian Church in Downey, CA, “succeeded in calling George R. Hand as pastor. Hand, a veteran preacher of the Ohio Valley had been associated with the great pioneer stock of the Restoration Movement…Hand remained with the church for more than two years. He was regarded by his ministerial colleagues as scholarly and thoroughly committed to a definite fundamental theological position. Hand used Downey as the center of his evangelistic efforts, and only as he saw another struggling congregation would he consider leaving the Downey pulpit. Accordingly, he went to Ventura, California to aid work there.”

February 28, 1875, the first Disciples of Christ Church in Los Angeles was organized and preacher G. R. Hand, minister of Downey Christian Church officiated at the organizational meeting [presently the Wilshire Christian Church]. Also in 1875, Rev. Hand oversaw the organization of the Christian church at San Luis Rey (Oceanside).

“In October, 1876, Elder G. R. Hand came to Ventura and engaged to preach for one year. The church then reorganized with thirty members. Rev. Hand preached until May, when he left and went East.” He also held occasional services at Yuba Christian Church in northern California.

Thus, in 1877 George Hand returned to Missouri to write his first book, “D. B. Ray’s Textbook of Campbellism Exposed” which was published by Christian Pub. Company of St. Louis in 1880. Rev. Ray, a Baptist minister, wrote the “Text Book on Campbellism” in 1867 in order to “expose the errors” of Alexander Campbell’s movement to restore the primitive church and teach by the Holy Bible alone. Rev. Hand wrote in defense of the Campbellites. Many well attended debates were held on the issue of Campbellism during this time.

On October 27, 1878 spoke at the Christian Church at Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri. This sermon, “The Name ‘Christian’,“ was included in Rev. Hand’s second book “Gospel delineator and survey: a volume of sermons, addresses and essays on revelation and science, and the science of Christianity” which was published by News Publishing, Sacramento, CA, in 1886.

Prof. Hand was contributing articles to “Wilford’s Microcosm” during the 1880’s. “The Microcosm: The Organ of the Substantial Philosophy” was a monthly journal “devoted to the discoveries, theories, and investigations of modern science, and their bearings upon the religious thought of the age” edited by A. Wilford Hall, Ph.D., LL. D. In Volume III, 1883, the list of Special Contributors has Prof. G. R. Hand from Richmond, Mo. during months August 1883 through Nov. 1883, then from Sacramento, Cal. during December 1883 and January 1884. March 1884 until June 1884 finds Prof. Hand in Red Bluff, Cal., and July 1884 finds him located in Sycamore, Cal.

According to historian, Ben F. Dixon, Rev. Hand returned to Northern California during 1885. October 31, 1886 he established the Covenant at Central Christian Church, San Diego, California. “Rev. R. G. Hand was the first minister…Mr. Hand remained only a few months.”

Reverend George R. Hand, teacher, preacher, and evangelist, died in Santa Ana, California during 1888.

Hand family

2009-06-03T19:11:00.001-07:00

The following items concerning the life of Mr. Hand were given by his daughter, mrs. A.M. Stringfield of Randolph's Grove. Mr. Hand was born in 1790, Mrs. Stringfield cannot tell of the place of this birth or give any information containing his early life. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and for his services a land grant was given to his family after his death. In the spring of 1819, he left Ohio where he was living, and came with his family to Shawneetown, Illinois. The journey was hard and adventurous. The family started on a flatboat, but it ran against a sawyer and sank, and the Hand family saved only their lives and the clothing which they happened to wear at the time of the accident. A small steamboat took them from the wreck and landed on shore. They found shelter in a little cabin near a grog-shop, where they came in contact with the worst element of western society. The men in grog-shop made the night terrible with their drunken revels. At one time they became so noisy that the proprietor turned them out, and shortly afterwords a storm came up and blew off the roof of the grogery. The party took refuge in Mr. Hand's cabin, and during the whole night kept up their drunken revelry. After waiting three or four days, Mr. Hand's family were taken in a boat to Shawneetown. They went out into the country about eighteen miles, and there Mr. Hand supported his family all summer with his labor and his gun. He built a little round log cabin which as Mrs. Stringfield says, had cracks in it large enough to sling a cat through. He stayed there four years and went to Sangmon County. Here he raised two crops. Mr. Hand hauled his hay from the Sangaman bottom. He had ten girls in his family, and they sometimes helped him in his work.

In 1825, he came to Randolph's Grove, and there built a cabin and broke prarie. No young man could be found for help, so Amelia drove the oxen to break prairie. When the land came into market, he entered his farm. The country was then very wild, as he may be imagined, and the wolves came around the house and made so much noise, that, as Mrs. Stringfield says, "you could not hear it thunder." Mr. Hand opened his house for preaching place until school-house could be built. Their cabin was also the preacher's stopping place. Mr. Hand died in 1845, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. He had a family of ten girls and four boys, and all, except one girl, grew to be men and women. Six of the girls and two of the boys are yet living. Mr. Hand was a rather tall man, fair-haired, fair-complexioned, with very expressive blue eyes, and with heavy shoulders. He was bold, energetic looking man, and was strong and active. He was an exorter in the Methodist Church, and brought up his children in the way they should go.

This was found under surnames. It was on microfilm on pages 775-776. Old Settlers of Illinois and was found in the San Jose Morman Library. The research was done by my cousin, Dottie (Ambler) DeRosa and she is thinking that this is a possible brother to my great-great-great grandfather George R. Hand.

Richmond, MO Cemetery

2009-06-02T12:21:00.001-07:00

Recently, my uncle Wesley George Vaughn and his wife went on a trip for their granddaughter's graduation (to AZ). On their way back, they stopped by the cemetery in Richmond, MO, where three children of Cornelius and Mary (Brewen) Vaughn are buried (Stella, Emily and Joseph Thomas) and the wife of Joseph Thomas and my great-great grandmother, Mary Louise Hand Vaughn. Here is what Uncle Wesley said about the visit:

I called ahead while on the road (Dave was driving). The Polley Funeral Home referred me to Powers Alder, who is a trustee of Richmond Cemetery, as his dad had been. From the appearance, they could use money to do more work. The grass was trimmed, but bushes and trees which have sprouted next to tombstones need to be rooted out. Mr. Alder said they are damaging the stones. He did mention that there is a cemetery fund.

The record he has is not complete. The records for the cemetery (plot-by-plot) were destroyed several years ago when a lawyer's office burned. But what he has is thanks to a few people who walked through writing down what they read. Mostly a good job, but somehow Lettie S. was copied down as "Hattie S." So it does pay to see for yourself.

Mr. Alder knew where the graves were. It was a challenge to find John & Eleanor's. Young trees (which looked like filbert/hazelnut) sprouting up covered the face of the tombstone. With Mr. Alder's approval, I bent them down and cut the shoots with my penknife. (Trivia: it is the one in the set your Dad gave me as a groomsman/usher's gift at your folks' wedding.)

The first pic I took was of Francis. I found it lying face down next to the pedestal. I righted it, brushed off what dirt I could, and propped it up against the pedestal. It has been broken off at the bottom. The stone for Emily was a bit wobbly.

On the web it said something about memorials for Joseph T. and M. Louise Vaughn. When I found their graves, I saw that someone had put new (how new?) granite stones at the base of the obelisks. I would have liked to have had the time to read the stones more completely and write it down. I did see that Stella was "Dau. of C & M Vaughn." That item was not part of the listing on the web. So know we know that she was Joseph T.'s sister.

Apparently Jno. (John) C. Vaughn is not Joseph George's "Uncle John." the former died in 1908, the latter in 1900. It does appear he may be related to Charles J. Vaughn, whose grave is not far away. I would like to know their relationship to the family.

On our way back to I-70, we went through Higginsville. According to the Obit for Cornelius & Mary Vaughn, their son Daniel B. Vaughn lived in Higginsvile at the time. My Dad (your g'pa) told me that his Uncle Dan (same person) met Herb and Elmer when he (Dad) was born and told them, "Tell your Ma she's had enough." (not an exact quote) So it seems that either Dad's Uncle Dan moved to Entiat in the meantime or was there for a visit, or maybe it was one of Uncle John's boys (but then he would have been Dad's cousin instead of a great uncle).

Mr. Alder also told me that the old Christian Church building has been torn down. It had sat vacant and fallen into disrepair. But the stained glass windows were saved. The congregation had merged with a Presbyterian congregation and moved to the edge of town. My guess is that this would be the Christian Union Church.

Of Memories that I have of Life at Home by Dan Vaughn

These are many memories that each of which have of our growing up time. I think that I like the time when quite young of going to town with my father by horse and buggy. I can recall one time especially, that my father had to drive off the road and hold the horses heads to keep them from bolting in fright when a steam tractor pulling lumber wagons.

It was a thrill to hear the boat whistle and watch them load and unload freight at the dock. The river boat run from Wenatchee to Bewster, sometimes to Riverside in the high water on the Okanogan River.

Father did his business in town and bought groceries at Frank White's store. Entiat had two grocery and dry goods stores, a hardware, drugstore, a bank, lumberyard, small hotel, jewelry, butcher shop, shoe repair, a garage for the early cars.

There was always a hapy time when Christmas arrived. The teacher would have all the children present parts in the program. The Christmas tree would be cut and brought in by the older boys. It was always dressed in the finest paper garlands and popcorn strings along with tinsel and other keepsakes from year to year. Of course, wax candles. The community collections took care of the oranges and candy. The Christmas Candy always tasted better then it does now.

I can tell the forest ranger, Jim McKenzie, taking Eveline and I with his family to Wenatchee. He drove a Model T. with flat back fenders. With his family, we went to a silent movie at the Gem Theatre and had dinner at Peter Pan Restaurant & Bakery owned by his brother Bill and John Shiskoff. We got home late as the road was 30 miles of corderoy.

I could tell of Eveline getting kicked by our horse, Molly. Of Stanley carving a ball and chain out of wood, of Bill and Dave coming out of school after digging out a chicken stealing skunk, of David Trapping for fur, of Elmer falling off of the road and cutting his scalp open, of Herbert falling on ice and Alfred going into HAM radio, and of me getting too close to the river, Flora Dunked me and told mother I fell in. She saved me, HA! HA!

Letter from the 1984 Reunion

2009-05-28T09:43:00.001-07:00

This was a letter sent to the family for the 1984 Reunion that was held at the Taplett's home in Wenatchee. My mom found it along with other things at her home.

Dear Family,

What a great thing it was to see all of you. We thank you for coming and helping to make this reunion such a special time.
We want you to know our guest book showed that 125 Vaughn's attended and 5 guests. Quite a family Joe and Eva began!
We are so much indebted to Eveleen's girls, especially Dottie, for all the research and the books the prepared. Our family history and nostalgic pictures were given to each of the 9 family heads. One was shared at the reunion and added so much for us!! Also I am mailing out pictures of the family crest, which Dottie had prepared for us. The fish in the center depicts that they were horsemen.
We are also sending out copies of the recent article about the trip that Aunt Chris (Uncle Bill's Wife) took to New York City with her sister in 1924. Marj Ambler made it possible for us to have this.
Uncle Dan has written some of his memories of life on the Entiat-We wanted you to read them.
An article was sent to the Wenatchee paper, but so much was cut away that there are about "3 bones" left. We are disappointed but have included it for you.

Did you know that......
Uncle Dan's heirloom bell, that he rang to call us to dinner, was one belonging to his great, great grandfather, Rev. George R. Hand? Pastor Hand was the Founder of the Central Christian Church in California, following the Gold Rush!

Did you know that.....
Grandpa Joe Vaughn taught his boys to hunt and that Uncle Bill (at 84) still goes hunting with his son, Gary? Fitting thing that Gary was gifted with Grandpa Joe's hunting Gun!

Did you know that.........
The Gold-headed cane cherished by Alfred is the one that Father Joe Vaughn presented to him just 2 days before he died? Joe had received this heirloom from his grandfather, Cornelius Vaughn Jr., and handed it down. Takes you back, doesn't it?

Did you know that.........
Two of Joe Vaughn's boys fell in love with Entiat School teachers?? After his service on the battlefields of France (World War I), Stanley returned to make Florence Rice his bride. David Vaughn was later captivated by Dorothy Harmon and they were joined in marriage too.

Did you know that.......
As a teacher, Florence observed David as a mischievous, fun loving boy. She has commented, "He was the last boy of the family that I would have expected to become a minister." "But God moves in mysterious ways", for David was the man He could use and David became a preacher of the Central Christian Church. Shades of the Past? David's Daughter, Velma, had rescued the Joe Vaughn family Bible and graciously shared it with us.

Did you know that........
Grandpa Joe Vaughn related to his grandson, Jim, that the first note he cast helped to make Washington a state? Joe and Eva Vaughn were early pioneers int he Entiat Valley and Mr. Vaughn helped to build the first school and the first church.

Did you know that............
Virena Thiemans, a beloved cousin attending our reunion, can still rememeber having Joe Vaughn family come from Entiat to visit her family at Medical Lake, WA. Joe and Eva had met and married while working in the hosptial there. Virena has recently discovered that one house where she lived as a child was the former home of Joe and Eva and it is where Stanley and Flora were born.

Did you know that......
Whent the 30 quarts of home-made ice cream were served, Uncle Herb said, "My this takes me back! I remember every Sunday morning, we boys had to help make 2 gallons of ice cream. Mother always had chicken and people came from all over for Sunday Dinner. Mother started preparing on Wednesday for the expected Guests on Sunday."
Can we ever come close to the things that the woman accomplished? She cooked and washed and cleaned for 9 children. She kept a vegetable garden as well as her beautiful flower garden, she canned and baked for her family and held house for her friends and neighbors on Sunday.

Did you know that......
The 5 remaining boys still remember the music they enjoyed as a family. Father Joe taught almost everyone to play an instrument and they all sang and shared many musical evenings together. This gift of music has come out in grandchildren, great grandchildren and now great, great grandchildren!!
Maybe it would be fun someday to hold a "Musical Reunion" and hear some of the talent?(Be sure David makes it!)
We had a ball doing this and we want to thank you again for making it a great time!

With love to you all,
Mary and Rollie Taplett
Jim and Jean Vaughn

Obituary: Gene Overman

2009-05-23T21:03:00.000-07:00

OVERMAN, Donald E. "Gene"
(Age 86)

Our loving husband, father, grandfather and friend, Gene, passed away Thursday, May 14, 2009. He was born January 6, 1923 in Wenatchee, Washington to Ora and Flora Overman. After graduating from Entiat High School in 1941, he joined the Air Force and was active in training cadets for B-17 and B-24 Bombardier Navigator duty. Upon returning from the Air Force, Gene enrolled and graduated from the University of Washington in 1951 with an Accounting degree. He was hired by the Internal Revenue Service right out of college but soon went to work at the largest privately-owned public warehouse company in Washington, Taylor-Edwards Warehouse and Transfer of Spokane. It wasn't long before he became President and when he finally retired he was owner of the company. He was a Washington State Thoroughbred horse breeder and had many successful track winners. Gene's Angus cattle herd was legendary and he had several top-bred certified Angus cattle that were sold all over the United States. He was a member of the Spokane Valley Rotary for most of his business life and was President of Associated Industries. Gene was a member of Millwood Presbyterian Church. He was well known for his outdoor life of hunting and ranching and never stopped taking advantage of spending those times with his boys and grandchildren. Anyone knowing Gene would remember him as a man of true principles and real integrity (some would almost call it stubbornness). It was reflected in all the things people fondly remember him as. He always had a subtle sense of humor but never let it compromise his beliefs. He will sadly be missed but each and everyone who knew him has a wonderful memory of him that will last a lifetime. Gene was preceded in death by a son Douglas in 2001 and granddaughter Heather in 2001, his brother Charles and his sister Doris. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Alice; son Roger of Spokane and his children Garth and Karly; son Paul and his wife Rosanne of Newman Lake and their children Cassandra and Kayla; deceased son Doug's daughter Andrea; three sisters: Janet Chouzeneoux of Littleton, Colorado, Laura McEachron of Auburn, Washington, and Linda Madsen of Kodiak, Alaska; and five grandchildren. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 23rd at 11:00 a.m. at Hennessey Valley Funeral Home, 1315 N. Pines Rd., Spokane Valley, Washington.

Memories about Grandma Eve

2009-05-22T12:10:00.001-07:00

Memories of Grandma Eve from Dottie Ambler DeRosa

Dear Beth,
I love this picture because she knows she did a good job.
1) My Mother (Frances Eveleen Vaughn Ambler English), swears she lost 2 babies before my mother was born and 2 babies after. That would make 13 children.
2) She was a nurse
3) She baked apple pies for the workers
4) She fixed fried chicken with all of the trimmings on every Sunday and invited any of the ones who didn't have any place to go, they could join them. She made apple pie for dessert. Her diabetes caused her to go blind, but that didn't stop her.
5) She had a big vegetable and flower garden.
Her smile says it all. There are big shoes to fill.
Love,
Dottie (Ambler) DeRosa

Herzog Family and George Herzog

2009-02-07T13:10:00.001-08:00

My parents, Larry and Roberta Culberson are spending a few days in California. They were invited to the 50th Anniversary celebration of Jerry and Dottie DeRosa. While there they are visiting with multiple family members. Through the magic of the internet, we have been able to be connected with a Herzog cousin. His name is Cary Davis. His great grandmother was a sister to my great-grandfather, Cicero Eric Herzog.
(My dad, Mom, Toma and Cary Davis)
Well, while mom and dad visited with Cary, Cary has the metals that were on his uniform in his possesion.

Some of the things we learned about Great-Grandfather George Herzog was: George Herzog came to the country in 1858 and became a naturalized citizen in 1872. George was in the NY Calvary was serving in Richmond, VA when he was captured and his horse was shot out from under him. He injured his arm and most of his teeth were knocked out. As a prisoner of war, he was exchanged. He was paroled approximately one week before the defeat of Gettysburg. He made his way back to Washington, DC to join his unit. 11th New York detachment was sent to do patrol in Purdy, TN where he met Sarah Outlaw. Cary has the metal from George Herzog’s uniform, a button from the NY regiment and bullet. It is thought that his uniform was destroyed in a garage fire along with several other pieces of family history.

Rawland F. Taplett Obituary

2008-08-13T07:50:00.001-07:00

Rawland Floyd Taplett, was born in Tyndall, SD June 28, 1921, to Frank S. Taplett and Dorothy Schultz Taplett. He passed away July 29, 2008, with congestive heart failure. He and his twin brother were the youngest of ten children. He moved with his family to Wenatchee in 1930, when the twins were in fourth grade. At nine years old, they sold apples from a wagon to the neighborhood and hawked Wenatchee Daily World newspapers on the street corners. As a teenager, Rawland delivered telegrams for Postal Telegraph. In 1942, he married Mary Louise Vaughn. Prior to serving in the Army in WWII, he worked for Safeway. He spent two years in the Philippines during the War and was discharged in 1946. When he returned from the War, he bought his first apple orchard. Working seven days a week, from sun-up to sun-down, he was always known for his strong work ethic and endless energy. He soon began to pack and sell his own fruit from his garage on Fifth Street. For fun, he played checkers in Memorial Park and went on to win the Washington State Checker Championship in 1949 and 1952. (This week he took time to play a game of checkers with his grandson.) He was one of the few, cash fruit buyers in the Valley. In 1972, Rawley was the first shipper to open the apple markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan to "Washington Apples". Twenty-seven years after beginning his fruit business on "nine acres," he had grown to be one of the largest independent fruit growers in the State. He owned and operated orchards between Royal City and Oroville, WA. He packed his own, as well as other's fruit, in his modern packing warehouse, cold storage and CA storage on the Chelan Highway. Rawley was a born entrepreneur. Following his success in the apple business, he entered into many business ventures. He developed several subdivisions throughout the Wenatchee area, also one in Kent, WA and another in Covington, in King County. He became interested in developing safe storage and disposal of toxic nuclear waste. He founded Chem Nuclear Inc. and became President and Chairman of the Board. He founded AirSensors, Inc. and has been Chairman of the Board, later named Imco. This company developed equipment for utilizing alternate fuel systems for the automotive industry. This company is known today as Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc. He also founded Accor Technologies, Inc. and has served as Chairman of the Board of this company. Accor Technology, Inc. has developed a push-on plumbing valve for use in the construction industry. It is being manufactured locally at the Port District near Pangborn Airport. Rawley was always open to new ideas and had a positive outlook on life and its opportunities. He had the original pioneer spirit, eager to demonstrate how a country boy, with lots of determination, hard work and energy, and only a high school education, could fulfill the American Dream. He loved his family so very much. He was always there for each of them. He quietly provided for special needs as he became aware of them, but encouraged us to become self productive people. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Mary; his three daughters, Norene Gibbs (recently deceased husband, Don) of East Wenatchee, Mandy Jo and husband, John Savoia of Mesa, AZ and Debbie and husband, David Jongeward of Vancouver, WA; son, Dean Taplett and wife, Roxanne of Ocean Shores, WA. He had 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. He will be missed by all of us, more than words can express. The Service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday, August 4, 2008, at Telford's Chapel of the Valley, officiated by Rev. Hilton Jarvis and Dean Taplett. Interment will be at the Wenatchee Cemetery.

John Stanley

Descendants of John Stanley

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN2 STANLEY (ISAAC1) was born April 19, 1790, and died July 18, 1880. He married (1) ELIZABETH FORREST. She died Unknown. He married (2) JULIA FORREST GRIMES. She died Unknown.

(Pictured above is the headstone of John Stanley.)

Notes for JOHN STANLEY:
It is not presently known for sure the number of or the names of the wives of John Stanley. He may have married sisters of his wives as they passed away. For the present tree, I am distributing the lion's share of the known children to Julia. He had a kit and caboodle of kids. As clarity may develop in the documentation of his wives/children this tree shall be updated.

John Stanley served in the War of 1812. He also set up his homestead at the "Old Brick" in Snowville, Ohio about eight miles from Albany. John lived in a huge hollowed out tree trunk for about two years, while he baked his own brick for a permanent house. He laid up the brick into an elegant five over three, two story brick farmhouse where he raised his many children. A tornado blew off the upper floor in 1951, but the roof was rebuilt and the house stands today as a single floor ranch home. Paul Stanley, son of Edgar, lives in it as of this year 1998 with his wife Mary.

Up on the hill of the "old brick" homestead, and a wonderful hill at that, a little to the east still stands the family Cemetery. Several people, other than the family, are buried up there. About all the grave stones had fallen over until Paul Stanley straighten them. The Hon Stanley Sr. Place was on of the very first settlements and is very much of a landmark.

Felix A. Stanley being the youngest son got the home place where the house stood. He went heavily in debt for it and never got it all paid for. Felix was sick and not able to work for about four years before he died. While he was able to work he set out a large orchard -- apples, peaches, cherries, plums, and pears. Also there were blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and grape vines. As a young boy I, Larry Robinson, still remember with misty and mystical joyful thoughts of the utter serenity and stillness atop the scenic hill. There I walked among grazing sheep interspersed throughout the orchard. It was wonderful, especially for a city boy from Columbus visiting his Aunt Gladys. Aunt Gladys would cook my family a huge Sunday dinner when we went down -- freshly killed chickens from the barnyard, home churned butter on homemade rolls, homemade mashed potatoes from the garden, and all the trimmings.
Much of the following history was recorded by Roma Stanley before she died.

Felix had one son and three daughters. Edgar had to quit school to work the farm and try to pay off the debts. He kept his three sisters in school. He never got it all paid for. After the girls were married Edgar bought out their shares of the estate, going still farther in debt. He died before he got clear out of debt,. Leaving his wife and children. Gladys, Edgar's wife, stayed on the farm with the children. She wanted their son Paul E. Stanley to have the farm. Paul was not very interested for a while, but after he was married, he decided to buy his sisters share of the place. Paul worked very hard over the years, and today the farm is in tip-top condition. For years the place was overgrown and run down. It took a lot of hard work by Paul and his family.

While Felix A. Stanley was still living, he took the old frame part off the back of the brick house. He put in its place, a Kitchen and dining room and two bedrooms up over the kitchen and dining room,which were made of frame. Edgar E. Stanley added a screened in back porch, dug out a spring on the hillside above the house, put in some tile, and piped water to the house into the kitchen sink. The water was good, but very warm in the summer as there was no shade trees or other shelter over the springs. My daddy Stanley Robinson and his brother Harold would often walk eight miles across country from Carpenter, Ohio to visit their Uncle Edgar and help him work. Edgar worked hard. He kept up his fences and buildings the best he could. Both girls were marred and at that time Paul was young.

About the middle of July in 1956 (some say the 14th, some say the 17), a terrible cyclone swept through Snowville. The worst that was ever known came down Irvin Cree, It blew roofs off several buildings. It also blew over a lot of trees and telephone lines. The Old Stanley Homestead was hit the hardest of any place around Snowville. The two storms seemed to meet there. One came down Irvin Creek and the other cam down Flint Fork. A great deal of the roof and the walls all the way down to the first floor were blown off the brick house. The house seemed to have been twisted as almost all the plaster fell off. A sheet of tin roofing blew through a power line pole that set in the yard cutting the pole in two. It blew a roof of a large grainery. Some of the roof looked like it had been rolled up and dropped down at side of the grainery. Most of the upper side of the barn roof was blown off and scattered all over the hillside, clear down to Flint Fork Bridge. A large sycamore tree down across the road looked like the limbs had been twisted off and lay all around the tree pointing in most directions. As the storm went on it blew the roof off the Mrs. Harry Douglas (Ella) home and damaged a lot of other places in the Darwin vicinity.

Paul E. Stanley now owns the John Stanley Sr. Farm. He has remodeled the house. He took the rest of the top off the house and made it into a modern ranch type home. Paul added on a few rooms and a bathroom and drained the basement and cemented it. He also put in a gas furnace. By adding on another room or two to the large brick room down creek, Paul made a nice little apartment for his mother who lived with Paul until she died. Gladys was a dear sweet lady.

The William D. Stanley homestead suffered a lot of damage due to roofs, which blew off and windows which were broken and other damages. Roma Stanley said she was spending the night at the home of her niece and family Rev. Headly and May Mason and sons Paul and Russell. The tow Mason boys had gone to a ten meeting at Athens, Ohio and were coming home when the storm struck. She had gone up stairs to bed, when the wind really started to blow. Paul and Russell had stopped their car down the road. Paul Mason came on up in the rain. Just behind him a big Maple tree blew over right behind him blocking the gate to the house. When Russell came a little later he had to climb over the yard fence to get in as the trees had blocked the gate.

Roma had gone to her nieces the day before to pick some blackberries. The next morning she said that May and she went up on the hill back of their house to see how much damage the storm had done. When she arrived there, she saw that several large trees had been blown out by the roots, along with many smaller ones. While up there, she said she showed May a cemetery that she did not know existed. The tombs stones were all gone and just a few hewed sandstone markers remained. This cemetery had been forgotten for years. There was no fence around it. It was out in a pasture field up on top of the hill above May Masons House. Roma said that when she was a little girl, He had been up there with the Hon Green girls. At that time the Greens owned the farm and built the two-story house. The cemetery was fairly large and used to have a lot of tombstone. Roma did not remember any of the names or the name of the cemetery. She said Mr. Green used to have a large apple orchard close to the cemetery. She estimated there was about a hundred or more graves there. A great many years ago there was a public road up the hill near the cemetery. Out farther there was a schoolhouse.

One Saturday night he was riding back in the back of his wagon,which was driven by his son, when he fell out his buggy and broke his neck. His wife Sarah, several years later, went blind.

Jackson was a Waggoneer in the Civil War and was mustered out at Ft. Hayes, Columbus, Ohio after losing a leg in the war. Jackson's son John obtained land near Snowville where he built a house and set to framing with his wife, Mary Bolin Stanley.

Notes for FLORENCE LILLIAN RICE:
This was written by Jim Vaughn:

Florence 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 Home front. She many times drove a 1938 Buick 185 miles through 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:
Florence L. Vaughn
Died June 15 (1989). She was born in Merrill, Wis. and was a retired school teacher in the Chelan and Douglas County School Districts. She was a member of the State and National Retired Teachers Associations and the Highline United Methodist Church. She was preceeded in death by her husband, Stanley G. Vaughn. She is survived by three sons: James, Homer and E. Lowell; two daughters Mary Taplett and Carolyn Corley; 21 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and three great-great granddaughters. Memorial services will be held on Monday at 1 p.m. at the Highline United Methodist Church.

Descendants of Isaac Stanley, Sr.

Generation No. 1

1. ISAAC1 STANLEY, SR. was born Abt. 1762 in Goochland, VA, and died January 15, 1815 in Alexander Township, Athens, OH. He married (1) ELIZABETH BROOKS April 04, 1792 in Goochland, VA. She died Unknown. He married (2) FRANCIS NASH October 07, 1792 in Pittsylvania, VA. She died Unknown. He married (3) ELIZABETH MARTIN February 15, 1815 in Alexander Township, Athens, OH. She was born 1763, and died August 1863.

Notes for ISAAC STANLEY, SR.:
The Stanley family has a long history in Ohio, beginning with the arrival of Isaac Stanley in 1793. He moved to Ohio from Goochland, VA near Richmond. Isaac acquired land in Alexander Township, Athens County. He cut a road into his property, built a cabin, cleared land and planted crops. He helped build the first parts of Rt. 50, without which it may not have been possible for Ohio University to have begun construction so soon. He then returned to Virgina and brought his family to Ohio: wife, Elizabeth; three sons, John, Archelaus, and Isaac Jr. He later had another son, Hiram and several other children with two other wives Elizabeth Brooks and Francis Nash. He farmed the land until his death in 1815. Isaac's son John served as a soldier in the War of 1812.

Isaac Sr. came to Ohio from Goochland, Va. in 1793 on a mule and with one slave. He crossed the Ohio River at Marietta, possibly staying for a short time at Ft. Harmer for protection against hostile indians. He started buying up large tracts of land. Several towns near Athens along the Hocking River may have been named after Isaac such as Stanley Town and Stanleyville, however these are only unsubstantiated rumors.

v. JOHN STANLEY, b. April 19, 1790; d. July 18, 1880; m. (1) ELIZABETH FORREST; d. Unknown; m. (2) JULIA FORREST GRIMES; d. Unknown.

Notes for JOHN STANLEY:
It is not presently known for sure the number of or the names of the wives of John Stanley. He may have married sisters of his wives as they passed away. For the present tree, I am distributing the lion's share of the known children to Julia. He had a kit and caboodle of kids. As clarity may develop in the documentation of his wives/children this tree shall be updated.

John Stanley served in the War of 1812. He also set up his homestead at the "Old Brick" in Snowville, Ohio about eight miles from Albany. John lived in a huge hollowed out tree trunk for about two years, while he baked his own brick for a permanent house. He laid up the brick into an elegant five over three, two story brick farm house where he raised his many children. A tornado blew off the upper floor in 1951, but the roof was rebuilt and the house stands today as a single floor ranch home. Paul Stanley, son of Edgar, lives in it as of this year 1998 with his wife Mary.

Up on the hill of the "old brick" homestead, and a wonderful hill at that, a little to the east still stands the family Cemetery. Several people, other than the family, are buried up there. About all the grave stones had fallen over until Paul Stanley straighten them. The Hon Stanley Sr. Place was on of the very first settlements and is very much of a landmark.

Feliz A. Stanley being the youngest son got the home place where the house stood. He went heavily in debt for it and never got it all paid for. Felix was sick and not able to work for about four years before he died. While he was able to work he set out a large orchard -- apples, peaches, cherries, plums, and pears. Also there were blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and grape vines. As a young boy I, Larry Robinson, still remember with misty and mystical joyful thoughts of the utter serenity and stillness atop the scenic hill. There I walked among grazing sheep interspersed throughout the orchard. It was wonderful, especially for a city boy from Columbus visiting his Aunt Gladys. Aunt Gladys would cook my family a huge Sunday dinner when we went down -- freshly killed chickens from the barnyard, home churned butter on homemade rolls, homemade mashed potatoes from the garden, and all the trimmings.
Much of the following history was recorded by Roma Stanley before she died.

Felix had one son and three daughters. Edgar had to quit school to work the farm and try to pay off the debts. He kept his three sisters in school. He never got it all paid for. After the girls were married Edgar bought out their shares of the estate, going still farther in debt. He died before he got clear out of deb,. Leaving his wife and children. Gladys, Edgar's wife, stayed on the farm with the children. She wanted their son Paul E. Stanley to have the farm. Paul was not very interested for a while, but after he was married, he decided to buy his sisters share of the palce. Paul worked very hard over the years, and today the farm is in tip top condition. For years the place was overgrown and run down. It took a lot of hard work by Paul and his family.

While Felix A. Stanely was still living, he took the old frame part off the back of the brick house. He put in its place, a Kitchen and dining room and two bed rooms up over the kitchen and dining room which were made of frame. Edgar E. Stanely added a screened in back porch, dug out a spring on the hillside above the house, put in some tile, and piped water to the house into the kitchen sink. The water was good, but very warm in the summer as there was no shade trees or other shelter over the springs. My daddy Stanley Robinson and his brother Harold would often walk eight miles across country from Carpenter, Ohio to visit their Uncle Edgar and help him work. Edgar worked hard. He kept up his fences and buildings the best he could. Both girls were marred and at that time Paul was young.

About the middle of July in 1956 (some say the 14th, some say the 17), a terrible cyclone swept through Snowville. The worst that was ever known came down Irvin Cree, It blew roofs off several buildings. It also blew over a lot of trees and telephone lines. The Old Stanley Homestead was hit the hardest of any place around Snowville. The two storms seemed to meet there. One came down Irvin Creek and the other cam down Flint Fork. A great deal of the roof and the walls all the way down to the first floor were blown off the brick house. The house seemed to ahve been twisted as almost all the plaster fell off. A sheet of tin roofing blew through a power line pole that set in the yard cutting the pole in two. It blew a roof of of a large grainery. Some of the roof looked like it had been rolled up and dropped down at side of the grainery. Most of the upper side of the barn roof was blown off and scattered all over the hillside, clear down to Flint Fork Bridge. A large sycamore tree down across the road looked like the limbs had been twisted off and lay all around the tree pointing in most directions. As the storm went on it blew the roof off the Mrs. harry Douglas (Ella) home and damaged a lot of other places in the Darwin vicinity.

Paul E. Stanley now owns the John Stanley Sr. Farm. He has remodeled the house. He took the rest of the top off the house and made it into a modern ranch type home. Pual added on a few rooms and a bath room and drained the basement and cemented it. He also put in a gas furnace. By adding on another room or two to the large brick room down creek, Paul made a nice little apartment for his mother who lived with Paul until she died. Gladys was a dear sweet lady.

The Willima D. Stanley homestead suffered a lot of damage to roofs which blew of and windows which were broken and other damages. Roma Stanley said she was spending the night at the home of her niece and family Rev. Headly and May Mason and sons Paul and Russell. The tow Mason boys had gone to a ten meeting at Athens, Ohio and were coming home when the storm struck. She had gone up stairs to bed, when the wind really started to blow. Paul and Russell had stopped their car down the road. Paul Mason came on up in the rain. Just behind him a big Mapel tree blew over right behind him blocking the gate to the house. When Russell came a little later he had to climb over the yard fence to get in as the trees had blocked the gate.

Roma had gone to her neices the day before to pick some blackberries. The next morning she said that May and she went up on the hill back of there house to see how much damage the storm had done. Several large trees had been blown out by the roots, along with many smaller ones. While up there, she said she showed May a cemetery that she did not Know existed. The tombs stones were all gone and just a few hewed sandstone markers remained. This cemetery had been forgotten for years. There was no fence around it. It was out in a pasture field up on top of the hill above May Masons House. Roma said that when she was a little girl , He had been up there with the Hon Gren girls. At that time the Greens owned the farm and built the two story house. The cemetery was fairly large and used to have a lot of tombstone. Roma did not remember any of the names or the name of the cemetery. She said Mr. Green used to have a large apple orchard close to the cemetery. She estimated there was about a hundred or more graves there. A great many years ago there was a public road up the hill near the cemetery. Out farther there was a schoolhouse.

Mama Herzog

God put Mama here many years ago,
To bring joy and comfort to other souls.
She gave Him her heart when young, and so,
She served Him well whatever His goals.

Mama met Papa and fell in love,
Then she won him to the Lord.
The two became one ‘neath heaven above,
Together she prayed and read His word.

In God’s love they raised their family,
There were six of us in all;
But God called one an angel to be,
The others remained to wait His call.

Papa went home in nineteen-sixty one,
He’d raised his family on God’s word.
With hard work and love for every one,
He taught them to love and serve the Lord.

Mama went up home on the Lord’s Day,
That wonderful Mama of mine.
Now she can hear angels sing and play.
There couldn’t have been a better time.

Can almost see her arriving there,
Papa watching and waving, looking down.
Grandpa, Grandma, Julia, Carl and Emma
All waiting while she gets her crown.

Now they’re all together at last,
Greeting each other with a holy kiss;
Sharing precious memories of the past,
Praising the Lord for heaven’s bliss.
Written by Alfred Tennyson Vaughn, my Maternal
Grandfather and son-in-law to Clara (Mishcke) Herzog.

Cicero Eric Herzog

2008-01-15T19:47:00.000-08:00

Papa Herzog

Tall and strong, there he stood,
Beside the forge, tongs in hand,
As flames belched below the hood,
Softening by heat the iron band
That was to become a shoe, good
For the horse waiting in the stand.

As the color changed from red to white,
The smithy plucked the iron out,
Clamped in tongs and held tight
Then placed on anvil and turned about
For hammer to shape both left and right
Ends of the loop, fit but stout.

As he worked, so he lived a life apart,
Strong and firm, he was nature’s man.
Beneath that hardiness was tender heart,
Waiting for maiden fair, the flame to fan.
Two hearts drew near, though poles apart,
As love burned thru shell of outer man.

As the flake and crust gave way to love
Of God, and for maiden, gentle and fair,
Their eyes met often ‘neath blue skies above
The smithy’s shop, and showed their care
For each other, until that day when his love
Moved him to ask her his life to share.

She said yes, so, joining hearts and hands,
And with God’s love and blessing they began life
Anew. Daily they prayed they might understand
Better how to live as husband and wife.
Soon God added to home little hands
And hearts to love and share words of life.

His hands, so big and strong,
When needed to correct a wrong,
Were yet soft and tender like his heart,
When touched in sorrow as loved ones part.
And when in joy he touched the strings
Of his violin, all the family sings.
Written by Alfred Tennyson Vaughn, my Maternal
Grandfather. A loving example of his beautiful poetry.

Notes for GEORGE HERZOG:
Immigrated to America from Germany in 1860 and stayed with
brother, Charles.

He served in the Civil War, after he had immigrated to America. He was a Corporal in the Regimented Calvary Co. B., out of New York. His papers state that he enlisted January 2, 1864. I do believe that the last time he enlisted was the second time and I am still working on that.

He states the following in his Claim for Pension:

I was discharged from the service in 1865. At Albany, New York, I then went to Purely, TN, first. Afterwards, to Camden, near Bethel, TN. I remained there some over seven years. After that time, I went to California, where my brother and nephew are residents.

People in general, at the time, I lived in TN, where there were a great deal Prejudiced against Union soldiers. Consequently, after I came away from that State, I have never corresponded with any person from there, nor do I know of any one that could or would testify in my behalf. After my arrival in CA, I lived with my brother in Yreka for some time. Afterwards, I made residence on Bogus Creek, 22 miles north of Yreka and been living there ever since.

Some of the oldest settlers that lived on Bogus for the first three years of any residence there, and could testify to me, have left here years ago and their whereabouts is unknown to me at present.

I do not know of any names of officers, surgeons since discharge who would be able to Testify.
Signed,
George Herzog

The Vaughn Heritage

Alfred Tennyson Vaughn
Editor's note: This week we begin publishing a history of remembrances of the Entiat Valley written by Alfred Tennyson Vaughn before he passed away in July of 1999. Alfred was the son of Joseph and Eva (Stanley) Vaughn who came to North Central Washington in 1888. Alfred had 10 siblings, seven of them born in the Entiat Valley. The Vaughn schoolhouse which was near Cooper's Store was named after the family.

Home on the Missouri

It would be wonderful if each member of our family could record their lifetime memories on tape, or in story form. As the youngest child of Joseph G. and Eva (Stanley) Vaughn, I realize how much my memories have become part of my life.
And so, I shall try to recall and record as much as possible from my experience, and those things I remember that were told to me by my parents and relatives.
Father was fond of relating events from his boyhood days in Missouri where he was raised by his grandparents, Cornelius and Mary Vaughn.
His grandfather had moved from the old homestead in Lexington, Kentucky that he had inherited from his father, Cornelius, Sr., in 1859. I am not sure of the year in which they moved, but it was near the end of the Civil War. All former slaves were left behind except one couple who asked to go with the growing family.
The family settled in Northwestern Missouri in Richmond, Ray County, on a large farm located on the banks of the Missouri River.
Father was orphaned at an early age, the only son of Joseph T. and Mary Louise Hand Vaughn. And, as the custom was, he was raised along with his uncles and cousins in Grandfather Cornelius' home.
After a few years, they moved to another place which provided better ground on which to raise a family that was growing smaller as they grew up.
Father sometimes told about the tasks that became his when he became old enough to do his share of work.
One of the unpleasant tasks was working out in the tobacco fields in the humid climate where he picked worms off of the tobacco leaves. The sickening smell of the tobacco made it the most difficult of tasks. Hoeing in the cornfields was preferable by far.
In autumn time, harvesting kept them all busy. They would gather to make apple butter in a large 40-gallon copper kettle that hung over a fire pit. Father told of how the apples were cut and trimmed and then put into the kettle to cook for long hours over the fire.
Father helped by keeping the fire supplied with wood, and sometimes stood by the kettle stirring the mixture with a long-handled ladle.
The family also butchered hogs outdoors, dipping them into a long trough of scalding hot water heated over a fire. The ham and bacon meat was treated and cured in smokehouses in hickory smoke. (I remember how we did that at the farm where I grew up.)
Father told about a pet raccoon that was always into mischief of some kind. One day, while they were butchering, the coon watched them test the temperature of the water by quickly dipping their finger in and out of the water.
While their backs were turned, the coon apparently tried to mimic the way they tested the water. Being small, the coon reached too far and fell into the tank of scalding water. Its pitiful cry of pain came too late to save him, even though they pulled it out at once.
Of course, there were many times between tasks when they found pleasure in fishing for catfish, and coon hunting at night, as well as skinny-dipping in backwater ponds.
No doubt there was a bit of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer in the youngsters who grew up along the Missouri. Perhaps the coon hunting at night was one of the more challenging pastimes.
When the wild coons became too troublesome, by raiding their chicken house, they would take their hounds, guns and lanterns and track the coon between the chicken house and the swamp.

Next week-- Coon and turkey hunting and the move West.

REMINISCING
The Vaughn Heritage
by
Alfred Tennyson Vaughn

Editor's note: This week, in the second installment of The Vaughn Heritage, we read about hunting practices and the move west from Missouri to Washington.
Hunting and the move West

If the hounds were quick enough, they would tree the coon. Following the sound of baying that told them where the coon was treed, the hunters circled around.
The light of the lantern would be reflected in the eyes of the coon, giving them a target at which they could aim. If the coon got to the water first, the hound that was foolish enough to go in after it would find itself seized by the nose and held under water until drowned.

There was nothing the hunter could do to save his hound, for the swamps were treacherous quicksand in places.

One incident, that father would sometimes chuckle over, was about the time grandfather sent the boys out to shoot a wild turkey.

They usually took turns at this task, and the hunter would return and load up the muzzle loader for the next hunt. Sometimes they would put a little extra powder into the load to give the next hunter an extra kickback when he shot his game.
It seems that Uncle John was the victim of this prank, so after his hunt he loaded up with a double charge, figuring it would be a lesson for the other prankster.
When Grandpa decided to send Uncle John out for the next hunt, Uncle John tried to talk Grandpa out of it by saying it was Uncle Neely's turn. It didn't work, so after Grandpa went back to work, Uncle John "let" Neely take his turn, figuring that he was the one that overloaded the gun the previous time.

When Neely found his game and fired, the kick of the gun knocked him over backwards and swelled the barrel at the breech. It was a wonder Neely wasn't killed. Of course, when Grandpa heard what happened, Uncle John had to answer to an angry disciplinarian.

No doubt, there were many other pranks and games played in those days, just as they are today. But, let us get on with our story.

About 1888, when father turned 20, he decided to follow some of the older uncles westward to Oregon Territory. Father stopped over in Kansas City to work on some of the buildings that were being built for the World's Fair in 1890.
Dad worked long enough to get money for the train fare out to Spokane. This was near the time when people were campaigning to carve out a new state to be named after George Washington.

The question came up for a vote at the time Dad turned 21, so, Dad cast his first vote to make Washington the 42nd state of the union on November 11, 1889.
Many of the Vaughn family had settled around Spokane and Ritzville, Washington. After working at odd jobs, Dad started working for the state hospital at Medical Lake, where he stayed for five years. It was while there that Dad met Mother at the social functions held for the hospital staff.

We were told that Dad had to choose between an Irish colleen or a Scottish lassie. And the Scottish lassie, Eva Jenny Stanley, became his choice in 1894.

They were married in Spokane and stayed in the Davenport Hotel on their wedding night. They then took the train to visit a family relative in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho on the weekend.

Mother and Dad never forgot to tell how their host kept entertaining them with stories of the past, right up to the time they heard the train whistle.
They got to the station just in time to see the train pulling out. Dad had to rent a horse and buggy to drive all night back to Medical Lake so they could be at work the next day.

My Mother was born in Chilicothe, Ohio, to a young couple who had three children. My grandparents died at a young age leaving the children to be raised by relatives. An aunt took Mother in. The others were raised by other members of the Stanleys.

Two uncles were medical doctors who worked for a hospital in Columbus, Ohio. When Mother was 15, she started nurses training at the hospital.

I remember two pictures taken of the hospital staff at different times. One picture included Grover Cleveland, and the other included William McKinley. Each was a governor of Ohio and each became president of the United States of America.

When Mother was almost 20, she went by train to Spokane, Washington, and then on to Medical Lake Hospital to become the personal attendant to Dr. and Mrs. Semple who were in charge of the hospital.

One experience Mother remembered was that the Semples loved Limburger cheese (famous for its peculiar odor).

Mrs. Semple had put the dish with cheese in the window and had forgotten it. Mother went all over the house looking for the source of the smell that filled the house. It was not until Mrs. Semple asked her for the cheese that she found that Mother had thrown it into the garbage because she did not know what it was.

Mother did not share much about her childhood. She remembered watching her grandmother spin cotton on a spinning wheel. She also remembered that hoop skirts were worn for dress in those early days. Mother did maintain correspondence with a younger sister until after the sister married and started to come west.
She heard nothing more after that.

Not long after they were married, the folks moved to a wheat ranch near Ritzville.
Father told about some neighbors who kept very much to themselves and were kept under surveillance by lawmen.

Later, they found that the parents of Frank James' wife lived there.
Frank and his brother Jesse had been train robbers who were hunted down until all of the gang were killed.

Next Week: Moving farther west and on to the Entiat Valley.

Vaughn Humor!

2008-01-10T09:55:00.000-08:00

The Vaughn family, being a large family, of course didn't have television or very many toys. Humor was always there for entertainment. So, sit back and enjoy (and get ready to LAUGH!) as I add and post these memories of our beloved family members!

One of the stories I was told; Alfred was in school. One of the boys was considerable large than his fellow classmates. This led to a great deal of bragging on how tough he was. Uncle Alfred told him he could make him move in 30 seconds
without touching him. He had the boy assure him he would not beat him up
if he won. The challenge was accepted. He had the boy sit in the bright
sunshine. Then he took out his magnifying glass and focused on the boy's
neck. In no time the contest was over. (Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

One of the stories Uncle Bill told me. Gamma (Eve) Vaughn had made
some fresh briskets and set them in the window to cool. Stanley had just
come home from working, was tired and hungry. He asked Bill to get him
one of those fresh smelling biscuits. Bill got two, put a chunk of
butter in his and a chunk of yellow soap in Stanley's. When Stanley bit
down on the soap, Bill ran for the barn. He climbed a ladder, went hand
over hand across a beam and drooped down into the soft hay. Regained his
feet and ran for the house. His brother Stanley was right behind him
gaining ground all the way. Bill was crying "Mom, mom, mom." Mom heard
and arrived in time to save Bill. Uncle Bill told me this story when we
were at the family reunion in 1980. (Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

Here are some stories told by my grandfather Joseph G. Vaughn of
Entiat. He told me these stories when I was 15 years old about 1942 or
43.
When he was a teenager being raised in Missouri, he caught a large
turtle. He took a pair of pliers, pulled the head out of the shell and
chopped it off. He said it was like trying to chop a rubber hose. After
he had severed the head, he placed it in boiling water to get loose from
the shell. He then made a stew using the meat. He had three young girl
friends that were teenagers. He invited the three for dinner. They were
young growing women and liked to eat. They had bowl number one. Then
they had bowl number two. Being young they ordered bowl number three.
One of the girls asked what kind of meat was in the stew. The first
bowl tasted like pork. The second bowl tasted like beef. The third
bowl, they could not tell. When he told them it was turtle, all three
turned green and lost their meal. Telling the story of some sixty years
previous made him laugh until tears came to his eyes. (Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

Here is another story of grandfather's childhood. I guess he was
about fourteen, he was on his way to a neighbor, Of course the only way
was to walk. While walking, he saw a lot of quail in one place. On this
particular trip he had neglected to bring his gun. He had a light small
gun he used to hunt. Seeing the quail, it was just too good an
opportunity to pass up. He went to an adjacent house and asked the old
gentleman if he could borrow a gun to take advantage of this great
opportunity. The old gentleman said sure. He hauled out an old flint
stock gun, loaded it and showed young Joe how to use it. Joe was very
excited. He quickly returned ti where he saw the quail. He aimed the
gun and fired. What he did not know, the old gun kicked like a mule.
The recoil of the gun sent him rolling into a patch of vines. He got up
and was he a mess. Of course he did not get one quail. All he could do
was return the old gun to the owner. The old man asked what happened.
When he heard Joe's story he laughed until he had to sit down. Of
course, Joe did not see the humor of the incident. (Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

When I was about 15, in 1943, Grandfather Joseph G. came to Bellingham for a week or so. He and I rode bikes for about 2 blocks. Grandpa said it was 40 years since he rode a bike and it would be 40 years before he would ride again. he told about the first bike, had a large wheel in front and a small wheel in back. If you hit a small hole, it would send you over the handle bars. The first bikes, like our modern day bike was called a "Safety Bike." It had no breaks. The pedals kept turning all the time. Then they came out with a place to put your shoe against the tire. In a short time it gave you the hot foot. (Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

Grandfather Joseph G. Vaughn of Entiat took Stanley, Bill and David
on a hunt for meat. I think Stanley was about 15 which would Make Bill
about 12 and David about 11. They were on one side of the river looking
across the river there was a patch of brush with an open spot on each
side. Grandfather said to the boys. "Now be quiet, I saw a bear in that
patch of brush">
Stanley said to Bill, "Hey Bill there's a bear in that brush". He
was very excited and said this at the top of his lungs.
Bill was not to be out done. At the top of his lungs, "Hey Dave,
there's a bear up there.
Of course the bear heard them so he ran at top speed for heavier
cover. Grandpa shot him while he was running. The bear doubled up and
rolled downhill toward the river. Grandpa shot 6 times at the rolling
bear hitting him 5 times out of the six. They crossed the river, located
the dead bear. They cut him up and each had to carry some of the meat
home.
Another story told to me. My dad, David was I guess about 14 at the
time. A number of them went hunting. On the hunt, David had a 22 rifle.
He was a short way from camp. Hearing a noise, he ventured closer and
behold it was a bear. He knew he dare not shoot a bear with a 22. He
would be just as effective throwing rocks. The safest route was to run
for camp. Being very excited he ran for camp yelling at the top of his
lungs, "Bear, bear". There was an old man at camp. He looked up and saw
young Dave running toward camp. There was a small log, I guess about two
feet in diameter. Dave cleared this log on the run. The old man loved
to tell the story of how scared young Dave was and how he cleared the log
on the run. Each time he told the story, the log grew by 6 inches.
Before he died, it was a 6 foot high log Dave cleared on the run.
One more story for tonight. Uncle Bill took Stanley's youngest son
hunting for dear. I do not know how old Lowell was at the time. You
might check with him. As I was told, Bill and Lowell were some distance
apart. All of a sudden Bill heard Lowell yell, "Uncle Bill, a Buck.
Uncle Bill, a buck." He was so excited.
Uncle Bill went down to where Lowell was. Of course the dear had
fled. "Now Lowell, next time you see a buck, take careful aim, fire, and
then Yell."
It was not long after Bill heard a shot from Lowell's rifle. Then
he heard, "Uncle Bill, I got him, Uncle Bill I got him." Bill went to
where Lowell was. The buck had been shot right between the eyes.(Told By Joseph Harmon Vaughn, son of David Robert Vaughn.)

The Vaughn Heritage

Editor's note: This week, in the third installment of The Vaughn Heritage, we read about the coming to the Entiat area by the Vaughn family.

The Move to Entiat

Stanley and Flora were born at Medical Lake, and were small children when the folks moved westward to Knapps Landing, on the Columbia River near Wenatchee, about 1899.
Dad took charge of a station at the foot of Chelan Falls where wagon trains stopped for water and food. Bands of Indians also stopped there to rest up and eat their fill between hunting trips.
Dad fed hay to their horses, while Mother cooked food for the Indians. They usually stayed and ate until all the food supplies were almost gone, then went on their way. Father learned to talk Indian jargon and got to know many of the Indians of the Nespelem and Chelan tribes.
William Joseph Vaughn was born to the family in July 1900 while at Knapps Landing. It was around this time that Dad's Uncle Dan Vaughn, son of Cornelius Vaughn, bought some land up the Entiat Valley from the Bonar homestead.
In 1901, Dad bought about 35 acres next to Uncle Dan. There was a two-room house and a cabin on the property when they moved in.
As the family grew through the years, so did the house. It was there that six other children were born and grew up.
Father was called upon to help build homes for many of the settlers in the valley. He also helped to build the Christian Church that stood by the graveyard on the hill above the valley.
As the children reached school age, Father helped to build what became known as the Vaughn School (Chelan County School District #37).
It was there that all of our family went through grade school. It was there also where two of the older boys, Stanley and David, found young school marms who became their wives.
Florence Rice was one of the first school teachers there. She married Stanley after he returned from France where he served in the Army in World War I.
Being the youngest of the nine children, and 18 years younger than Stanley, I have to depend on my brothers for events before my time.
One of the stories that Bill enjoyed telling was about when I was born.
Since we lived 10 miles up the valley and often 30 miles from the nearest doctor, the families in the valley often called on "Grandma Moe" as a nurse and midwife. She lived with her son-in-law and daughter, Tony and Rachel Johnson, about three miles away.
Grandma Moe had helped most of my brothers and sisters on their arrival in our home.
Now, it was my turn.
Dad called for Grandma Moe and sent Evaleen to get her in our horse and buggy. Then, all the younger children were sent out of the house to await my arrival.
When the loud cry and wailing began, the children looked all around for the blue jay they thought they heard. (Apparently sex education began at a later age then.)
Since Father was busy helping the nurse, Bill and David were sent to the upper field to take care of the farming. Uncle Dan happened to be in shouting distance, so they called him over to tell him about the new arrival.
Uncle Dan thoughtfully listened, spit out some tobacco juice, then said, "You-uns tell yore Paw he should call it 'quits.'" Bill and Dave thought that really funny, so, as soon as they got back to the house, they told Dad what Uncle Dan had said.
Dad stared, said nothing, but turned red in the face. The next day, when Bill and Dave saw Uncle Dan next to the fence, he called them over to him and asked, "Did you-all tell yore Paw what ah said?" Of course they said they had. Uncle Dan spit again, then said, "Hmmmph. Ah thought you-all had bettah sense."
Of the 35 acres on the ranch, only about 18 was used for crops. Eight acres were in orchard, and the rest was used for garden and for hay.
Besides butchering our own beef and pork, our larder was supplemented by hunting and fishing.
Deer and bear as well as game birds were adequate for the sharpshooters that grew up there.
Our land was irrigated from a three-mile ditch that brought water from the Entiat River and shared with the neighbors. We were at the end of the line.
Each spring, Dad took some of us boys along to clean up and fix up the irrigation ditch for the summers. Neighbors also helped to maintain it.
For the house, we had running water. The boys took turns running to the river (about 100 feet away) with a pail or milk can in each hand. We needed three or four times as much water for washdays, although the folks had a place next to the river to do laundry on warm summer days.
The nearest electric power line came six miles short of our place. Our house was lighted by kerosene lamps and lanterns until gasoline lamps became available. One big room served as kitchen and dining room.
An old Monarch kitchen range fueled by wood provided our cooking year round, and helped heat the house during cold seasons.
We also had pot bellied heaters in the other end and in the living room. The bedrooms were unheated.
If it was real cold, we warmed up bricks in the oven then wrapped them in newspapers and bags to warm our feet in bed. The kitchen was also our bathroom on Saturday nights, where we heated the water on the range and put enough in a round wash tub for each one to take their turn.

Next week: family activities and valley social events.

Editor's note: This week, in the fourth installment of The Vaughn Heritage, we read about winter fun, family activities and making do with what the family had.

Fun, Frolic and Making Do

After the harvesting was done, and the work load lightened, we spent many long winter evenings in the main room to study, read, or play games by the light of the kerosene lamp.
Often Father would gather us around him and read from his favorite magazines-- Collier's, Saturday Evening Post, and American Magazine.
"Scattergood Baines" was a favorite serial story. Dad also read book novels to us like "The Shepherd of Kingdom Come," "Shepherd of the Hills," and Zane Grey stories.
On weekends, the family would gather around the organ in the living room. Dad would play his violin, and some of us played ukulele or guitar, and sing favorite folk songs.
Our family provided musical programs for church and the school at times and entertained them with jokes about human nature.
Old southern living and customs provided a very interesting evening of entertainment.
Although Father had chosen a Scottish lassie for his bride, some of his familiar folk songs were, "My Wild Irish Rose," and "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen." No doubt, he still remembered Kitty, the Irish colleen that he gave up to marry Mother.
The only communication system in the valley was a telephone line that ran about 15 miles from the Central Office in Entiat to Brief.
The system had three or four multiple party lines with up to ten subscribers on each line. Each subscriber had a ringing code of short and long rings.
However, regardless of whose number was rung, you could almost count how many others were listening by the number of clicks after you picked up your receiver. It was almost impossible to keep a secret in those days.
Most social events took place at churches, school houses, picnics and private clubs.
Each school had programs planned for most of the holidays. Christmas was the biggest event of all, complete with a "real" Santa Claus.
Weddings and funerals drew many families out from their daily routines. Later, a dance hall near us provided the valley with entertainment and gossip. And, nearly every Sunday dawned with one or more cars off the road between there and town. The dance hall was also used as a roller rink and for other activities in the valley.
Each school year was ended with an outdoor picnic that few people missed attending.
Although our family, like many others in the valley, never had much money, the younger children never knew it. I suppose today we would be regarded as living in the poverty level.
Mother and Dad never talked about those problems around us. But, we were taught to appreciate and take care of what we had, and not to worry about what we did not have.
The few toys that were given us were well made, and we learned how to invent games and to make some toys from what was on hand.
Sling shots were made from the fork of a willow. The rubber bands for them came from worn out inner tubes, and the leather pocket from worn out shoes.
Our fishing poles grew along the river bank. All we needed to do was select a green slender willow about six or seven feet long, tie 15 feet of stout string to the end, and make a hook out of a pin or fine wire.
Later on, when we got fishing line and hooks from the store, we knew how to take care of them. The steel pole had to wait a while longer.
Of course, we never had to buy bait as angleworms and grasshoppers were plentiful around the farm and penny winkles and other marine life were found on rocks in the river.
The mountain brook trout and Dolly Vardens and cutthroat were welcome treats for supper and breakfast.
What energy we had left over after our chores was used up in hiking and swimming in summer and sledding and skating in winter.
When we got big enough to make our own skis, then we could
enjoy that sport as well.
On the Bonar ranch, just down river from us, was a pond built at the head of the irrigation canal. It was the Bonar's donation to our community to use for swimming and skating.
And if the ice got thick enough, we joined with our neighbors to cut ice to store in our sawdust icehouses for the coming year. When the river ice was thick enough, then the pond was spared.
Other winter activities were bobsledding, skating parties, dog sledding with Rover, house to house sleigh rides and candy pulls.
The pond was almost a mile from our house. When the water was not too high in the river, we waded across as a shortcut to the pond. Otherwise, we walked around to the bridge and through the Bonar orchard.
During the hot weather we had to watch out for rattlesnakes that came down to the irrigation ditch for water. The snakes came in all sizes, and it was not unusual to see at least one each week.
As far as I know, none of our family was ever bitten by them. There were also bull snakes and garter snakes which we used to tease the girls.
Sometimes one got put into the school teacher's desk or waste basket, or a small frog.

Next week: School time and the Christmas holidays.

The Vaughn Heritage

Editor's note: This week, in the fifth installment of The Vaughn Heritage, we read about the Vaughn School, school discipline and school pranks and games played by the students.

The Vaughn School

Ours was a one-room school. That is, the front entrance was used to store our coats and lunch buckets. In the main room, the teacher's desk, blackboards and a long bench were at the front of the room.
There were two rows of double seats at which lower grades studied. The upper grades were seated by rows in adjacent grades, in single seats. (Students who needed watching usually sat up front.)
At the back were bookcases for the school library. A map case hung above from which desired maps could be pulled down like window blinds. Also in the back was the old Seth Thomas clock with Roman numerals that had to be wound periodically. Lastly, a stove with pipe up to a chimney sat in the back center of the room.
The teacher made a schedule of classes and subjects for students whom she called to sit on the bench by the teacher's desk. A small push-button bell on the desk was used to call out the class periods and to ring for recesses and assembly.
A hand bell was used to call the children into the school at the beginning of each school period.
Last, but not least, was a sturdy ruler or yardstick which served a double purpose. It was used to teach measurements, and for the discipline of unruly and disobedient students. When a student was disciplined at school, they usually got equal time and treatment when they got home.
However, even the consistent rule of discipline was tested at times by some who figured out ways to tease or thwart the teacher.
Usually, one year was all a new teacher could take in a small country school. Either they married one of the local Romeos, or they transferred to another school to look over a new field.
I remember only two teachers who stayed two years or more, and they were both already married; and we considered them the best teachers. Perhaps their experience gave them an advantage over the "smart kids," for it was not long until everything was under control.
There were some tricks that were tried on every new teacher by the "Upper Classmen." One was the secretive placement of rubber bands on the heater when it first got warmed up in fall.
The other took place in spring when wild flowers came into bloom. One brilliantly red flower was appealing to the eye, but when left in a glass to warm in the sun, would radiate pungently rank perfume.
It would take some teachers longer to locate the source of this disagreeable odor because of the deceivingly beautiful blossoms. It was called Skunk Weed for an obvious reason.
Of course the usual tacks appeared on seats of unsuspecting students; spit wads from rubber bands stung the neck of dozing pupils; and notes got passed across the room, sometimes not successfully.
The punishment most often fitted the crime.
The cure for note writing was to have the pupil stand up and read it to the whole room. Love notes were especially interesting and embarrassing. The worst notes usually got the silent treatment with a note from the teacher sent home to parents by a brother or sister.
Two traditions were kept over the years to help the kids get past their spring fever. One was an outing where we competed making lists and gathering samples of wildflowers.
The other took place on a Friday afternoon near the end of the school term.
Three or four older students were chosen to be foxes who would be given a head start out over the hills to an unknown destination. They were to leave trails of paper strips for the "Hounds" who would try to catch up with the foxes. We took lunches along to share at the end of the chase.
Noontime was for a variety of activities by students who teamed up for baseball and other games.
Groups of three to five pupils would create "playhouses" under sheltering evergreens, and become "families," choosing the roles and names they would assume.
The ringing of the handbell five minutes before class time would call everyone back in for the next session of school. Often the teacher would choose a pupil to ring the bell.
Teachers usually supervised games and some even participated, sharing bruises and even broken fingers from catching baseballs without gloves.
Dorothy Harmon was one who enjoyed playing games with the pupils. I didn't know if there was any connection, but, she was my favorite teacher. She promoted me from first into the third grade and later became my sister-in-law.

The Vaughn Heritage

Editor's note: This week, in the sixth and final installment of The Vaughn Heritage, we read about holiday celebrations and of the churches in the Entiat Valley.

Holidays and Entiat Valley Churches

The usual holidays were celebrated to the extent of their perceived importance.
The school children, and parents, looked forward to and planned for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
The entire community met at the school for the games at Halloween. Some singing and stories of the Halloween tradition were shared.
Thanksgiving was complete with a play, songs and recitations.
But, Christmas always drew a full house.
Plays were rehearsed for weeks. Decorations were made to go around the classroom and on the Christmas tree. Long chains made of loops of colored paper, and of pine needles were hung across the windows. Candles mounted on metal cups were clipped to branches of the tree.
An angel or a large star nearly always adorned the top of the tree.
The blackboards were filled with Christmas scenes drawn by the pupils.
Old Saint Nick and Dickens' Christmas Carol were favorites recited by one of the upper grades. Christmas songs, old and new, were sung by classes or groups which could carry a tune.
The birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington were always observed.
While swimming, fishing, camping and hunting filled our summer and fall recreational activities and skating and sledding helped us pass the winter through, there were community activities, large and small, where we joined in sharing our interests and talents.
There were three traditional churches in the Entiat Valley besides small groups who worshipped in homes and schools.
The Vaughn family had been with the Christian Church since the 1800s, probably because Father's grandfather, George Hand, had been a minister and missionary to the West from his early years with Alexander Campbell.
Earlier generations had been Methodists.
The Entiat Christian Church was pioneered by William Cannon, Sr., around 1900.
My father was a deacon and then an elder in the church until moving to Wenatchee in 1940. Our family seldom missed a Sunday at the white church on the hill by the graveyard.
I remember going with them in the buggy or wagon, depending on how many went. In winter we used sled runners on the buggy or took the large sled.
If it was very cold, hay filled the bottom of the sled on which we laid blankets, and we had a coal-fired foot warmer for our feet. A few times the drawer with the hot coals would open and ignite the hay. Then we had a hot time getting the fire out.
There was a Presbyterian and a Friends Church in town. Many sermons in those days were on eternal punishment, the Judgment, and on why we did not go to the other churches. The positive benefits of Christianity became better known later on in the 1930s when we got to know other Christians better.
Living on a farm so far from city life had its advantages-- and disadvantages.
With seven boys and two girls, our family always had enough hands to share in the work. Since the older ones got jobs away from home as soon as they were old enough, the younger hands were trained as soon as they were big enough to do the work.
Washing dishes and helping with the laundry, we soon learned, was not just for girls. And, conversely, the girls at times were called on to help with the milking and putting hay in the barn. Sometimes we helped our neighbors get their hay in before a storm, and they would help us with ours.
When it was time to harvest the apples, everyone went to work from the picking to the packing. Extra help getting the apples off also added to the number of people that Mother cooked for.
She always fed them well.

Memories of my Childhood by Dan Vaughn

Memories of My Childhood
By Daniel J. Vaughn

There are so many memories that one has that we must use the good ones and discard the others. Anyway, we usually forget the bad ones, in time.
I recall that father quite often took me to town with him. I was never sure whether it was because he needed company, or that he was getting me out from my mother’s way. She had so much to do that I often wondered how she accomplished all of it.
On the days that we went to town, he always started early to drive the ten miles by horse and buggy. We always stopped at Erickson’s spring to let the horses drink and rest, going and coming. The water bubbled up out of the bottom of the spring. It was always clear and sweet. You could see a few fish swimming in it.
Farther down the road, between Kelloggs’s mill and Entait, Father would have to rive off the road and hold the horses heads to keep them from bolting in fright, to let a steam tractor pulling lumber wagons pass. This was their way of delivering lumber to the loading dock at Entiat for Shipment on the River Boat.
It was a thrill to hear the boat whistle and to watch it pull in to the dock. This did not last long as the railroad began operating soon after, sometime around 1914.
But, of course, the finest time was a Christmas when the local school had the Christmas program. The teacher always had an older boy or two go get the tree. There were candles, strung popcorn, paper garlands and tinsel along with the other keepsakes from year to year. Community collections took care of oranges, and candy. The Christmas candy sure tasted much better in those days than it does now.
I have many good memories and I cherish them all. I could tell of Stanley carving a chain and ball out of wood. Of Flora playing the organ with our family joining in singing. Of playing checkers or a fast game of rook. Of David trapping furs along the river. Going ice skating in the winter. The old swimming hole. AH! I had better quit while am ahead.

Descendants of John Brewen

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN2 BREWEN (ABRAM1) was born October 08, 1791 in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania, and died December 01, 1871 in Caldwell, Missouri. He married HANNAH COWGILL May 15, 1817 in Butler City, OH, daughter of DANIEL COWGILL and BETSEY MARTIN. She was born March 27, 1800 in Ohio, and died March 26, 1872 in Kingston, Missouri.

**More information about Cornelius Vaughn Sr. and the family is by Joseph George Vaughn (my great-grandfather, that was written in 1943. J.G. Vaughn is the Great-grandson of Cornelius Vaughn Sr. It was recorded and typed by J.G's son David Robert Vaughn.**

Mary Brewen's father was taken with his sister from New Orleans after yellow fever scourage, by a man named Landis, a Penn Dutch Family. It was found later that the boy and girl's parents had been Hanna (son & daughter of John Hanna in New Orleans).

Children of JOHN BREWEN and HANNAH COWGILL are:
i. MARY3 BREWEN, b. June 23, 1818, Ohio; d. May 22, 1902, Medical Lake, WA (Spokane); m. CORNELIUS VAUGHN, JR, September 01, 1840, Fayette Co, Kentucky; b. January 01, 1820, Lexington , Kentucky (Fayette Co.); d. January 14, 1903, Medical Lake, WA (Spokane).

Notes for MARY BREWEN:
August 1904: I shall report in one article the death of Cornelius and
Mary Vaughn. He was born in Lexington, Ky., Jan. 1,
1820, and was married to Mary Brewen Sept. 1, 1840;
and she was born June 23, 1818, in Hamilton Co., Ohio.
She moved from there to Grant Co. Ky., where she was
married to Cornelius Vaughn. During her early life she
was a Baptist, but after her marriaged united with the
Main Avenue Christian Church, at Lexington, Ky., of
which her husband was a member.

They made their home near Lexington, Ky., until 1866,
when they moved to Richmond, Mo. In 1876 they moved
near May View, Mo., remaining there until they moved to
Washington in 1888.

In 1892 they visited their son Alpheus Vaughn and
family, at College City, Cal., and extended their visit until
the latter part of the next year, when they again returned
to Washington, in which state they remained until death
called them hence.

After an illness of several months of asthma, followed by
heart trouble, Sister Vaughn died May 22, 1902.

Her husband, Cornelius Vaughn, survived her until Jan.
14, 1903, dying of old age, as a ripe sheaf gathered in.
They died at the home of their daughter-in-law, Mrs.
J. C. Vaughn at Spokane, Wash. Their son, J. C. Vaughn
having died there, Jan 30, 1900.

They were the parents of twelve children only two of whom
survive them, Alpheus Vaughn of College City, Cal., and
Daniel Vaughn, of Higginsville, Mo. Bro. and Sister
Vaughn both united with the Church while in the vigor of
youth, and lived consistent Christian lives, and died strong
in the faith. A most beautiful example of Christian faith
and fortitude.

It was on the occasion of their visit to California that this
writer formed an acquaintance with this aged couple of
God-fearing Christians, and become impressed with their
quiet demeanor and meek forbearance when perplexed
with perversion; but with a firm belief in the all-sufficiency
of the pure word of God, as revealed for our learning, and,
as being perfect wanting nothing, so in the light thereof,
they kept right on in the way of its teaching, steadfast in
the faith and in sound doctrine, not faltering by the way
nor digressing therefrom.
