Five residents solved last week’s “mystery picture,” that of Pauline Vaughn. Roger A. Craig’s name was drawn from the following: Hazel Girtman, Daphne Sullivan, Ramona Craig and Cecile Morgan.
Pauline Vaughn was born at Kelley’s Crossing in Williamson County on July 13, 1918, to Lloyd and Ella Kelley Cox. Her brothers are Junior, Goreville, and Wayne, Marion, and her sisters are Opal Houghlan and Margie Cox, both of Phoenix, and Jeanette Kirby, Goreville.
She attended Cana and Goreville Schools and graduated from GHS in 1937.
Pauline was married to Len Vaughn in 1937, in Blytheville, Arkansas. They have one son, Gary Len. She worked at the family business, Vaughn Grocery Store, for 25 years and at the commissary of Anna State Hospital for 20 years.
Pauline is a member of McKinney Chapel Church and was a member of the Goreville Women’s Club for fifty years. Her hobbies include planting flowers and taking care of her yard.
