HOUSTON, Texas 1930—Houstonians morn the tragic death of new Houston resident Gus Vaughn age 35.

Justice of Peace Campbell Overstreet declared it a murder but no suspects were yet in custody.
Mr. Vaughn was born April 20, 1895 in Coleman Texas to Jasper Lee Vaughn Jr and Ella Jane Gutherie. He and his 5 siblings lived and worked in Coleman and later Midland until the April 2, 1917 United States declaration of war on German and May 18, 1917 Selective Service Act.
On May 19, 1917, at age 22, Mr. Vaughn met his country's call and enlisted at Dallas Texas in the United States Marine Corp. Following basic Marine training with the 78th Company at Quantico Virginia, he served honorably in New York and the New London, Connecticut submarine base for the next two years, rising to the rank of sergeant. He completed his enlistment on August 15, 1919 and returned to Texas.
On May 12, 1922 he married Stevie John Boysen in Brownwood, Texas where the couple resided for the next two years. They celebrated the birth of their first son, Richard Rowland Vaughn, in 1924 and later that summer moved to Los Angeles California. Mr. Vaughn joined the Los Angeles Police Department and served as a patrolman. In 1926 his twin boys, Ronald and Donald, were born. About 1927 the family moved back to Brownwood and soon Gus and Stevie separated. In 1930 he retained custody of his older boy, Richard, and moved to Houston, working as an insurance agent.
