ancestors, you can write ESTHER VAWTER, 1713 Merkley Ave, M. Sacramento, CA 95691.

ARLINE POWERS. 416 N. Lakeview Ave. Sturgis. HI 49091 made an appeal in the January
1985 issue of the Newsletter for help in locating her haK-brother WILLIAM HAROLD
VAUGHN. His parents were CHARLES EDWARD & LILLY MAY LUNCEFORD

married SILAS EVANS. Arlene's and William's grandfather was EDWARD VAUGHN,
b 1851, Hoime Co Ohio and d. LaGrange Co, Indiana in 1931. This has been a life-time search
for Arlene. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could help fulfill her dream?

1840. SARAH VAUGHN and LAURENA VAUGHN (no dates for these marriages). She assumes
there is a connection among the Vaughn girls, but what? Do not think Catherine is the one mentioned
