General Notes: Husband - William A. Vaughn

He was reared in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and learned the carriage blacksmith trade at Mossmantown, in West Salem Township. In June, 1847, he opened a shop, and in the spring of 1850 erected a building across the street from his first location, where he then carried on the carriage business, which increased from year to year, until he conducted one of the leading manufacturing institutions of the borough.
He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he belonged to the Masonic fraternity. Politically he was a Republican, and filled the position of councilman and school director.
