HUSBAND'S OBIT
Pilot 10 Jan. 1923
Lou Vaughan died at his home in this city at 7 o'clock last Saturday morning of pleurisy and heart trouble, following an illness of but little over one week. The funeral was held at the house at 2:30 Monday, Rev. W. H. Underwood officiating. Burial was under the auspices of Washington Lodge No. 21, A.F. and A.M., of which deceased had been a member for many years. He was also a member of the Modern Woodman fraternity. Mr. Vaughan was born in Fondulac, Wis., September 8th, 1853, and was therefore, past 69 years of age. When he was but a boy his father enlisted in the Union army during the Civil war and was killed. His mother and the balance of the family came to Ft. Calhoun in 1866, he remaining with an uncle for several years. He conducted a sash and door factory at Hot Springs, Ark., for several years, coming to Blair in 1880. On July 16th, 1885 he was married to Miss Ella Saeger at Cedar Rapids, Ia., where her parents lived. They came to Blair and established their home. Just a year later to the day from the accidental discharge of a shotgun he lost a leg that more or less handicapped him the balance of his life, yet he was brave and never complained of his misfortune. He was an architect by trade and had only just completed the plans and specifications for the remodeling of the Matthiesen building for the Masons, making some valuable suggestions that the committee were glad to take advantage of. He also did considerable work as a patent attorney and secured many patents for Blair people and others. Besides the widow he leaves one son, Burl, four brothers, James and Harvey of Ft. Calhoun, George, of San Bernardino, Calif., and Chas., of Los Angeles and one sister, Martha, of San Bernardino. Mr. Vaughan was a good husband, father and friend, therefore a good citizen whom his many friends will greatly miss. The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
