Lorena A. Denny, daughter of Samuel and Mary Denny, was born in Gallia County, Ohio, January 19, 1845 was married to John F. Vaughn, son of Jacob and Julia Ann Vaughn, April 4, 1866. They were the parents of four children, three of whom are living. Little Samuel Jacob died August 22, 1872, being only a few days old.
In the afternoon of the 13th, the children being at school and the husband cutting timber in the woods, it is supposed that Lorena had gotten up on a high chair and over a deep cellar to reach for some boxes and fell head foremost down the cellar and was not found until the children returned from school. Her husband and several of the neighbors heard their cries, reaching the scene of death about the same time. She only breathed, and after laying her on the bed they found a high chair had turned over and some boxes scattered over the floor near the cellar door. The boxes had been placed on some loose plank some eight or nine feet above the cellar door; to reach for the boxes she would have to reach over the cellar door that was open at the time. Her body was found at the foot of the stair steps some 15 feet from where the boxes were, her head badly cut. She was a large, fleshy lady and in the prime of life.
Lorena was an excellent wife, fleetingly kind to all that were around her. Her house was the abode of neatness and order, and many of you who read her memoir will remember the kind welcome they received at her pleasant home and the home like feelings they enjoyed as they sat around her sumptuous table.
Lorena was raised by pious parents and some of her father's family are already among the blessed. She joined that M.E. Church and professed conversion in 1873, and as far as we know remained a member of the living wine to the close of her life. Her husband says when he left the house to go to into the woods to cut some timber, she was singing her favorite him [sic].
