Bio

From Paul Armstrong- It is sad indeed to have to report the death of a very dear friend, Miss Mary Vaughn, whom we have known from infancy. She was always so good and kind, and visited the writer's home so often in her childhood days, and always filled our home with sunshine and gladness; but, alas, it is said by one of old, that "the old must die and the young may die", and though this be a truth, made manifest each day of our lives, we can but feel the pangs of sorrow and regret when one so young, so dear, so near as Mary is taken from us. This strange mystery of providence has only one explanation, and that is, "God's will be done." We would not in our human wisdom pluck such a beautiful bud of only twenty-two summers before it had bloomed, with all the hopes of a long and useful life spread out before her, like a panorama of paradisical beauty; but God, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to call Mary home. The first link in the large and happy family has been broken, which can only be reunited beyond the river in that beautiful home of rest, and may sweet violets grow and roses bloom above her mortal remains; yet on all of us smiles her image still, and still our heart strings throb and thrill at the very mention of her name. We know God has deemed it best, and her face, so calm and peaceful, tells us that Mary has found sweet rest, and some sweet day we too hope to reach that happy home and shine as brightly as she. Columbus Dispatch, Columbus, MS, August 15, 1907.
