| Jack Penn Vaughn Circa 1940 |
Jack
Vaughn was born (1910) in Louisiana and passed away at Fair Hope, Al.
(1975). My purpose in publishing this
second edition of "Hewers Of The
Wilderness" is to acknowledge the work of Jack Vaughn and his
dedication to discovering the history of the Vaughn family, his accomplishments which include the publication of his book, "Hewers Of The Wilderness." Had it not been for Jack Vaughn, these stories
would have been lost forever. During the
early 1920's, Jack Vaughn heard these stories from his grandmother, remembered
them, and later published these stories
in his first edition book titled "Hewers In The Wilderness. Jack Vaughn's foresight saved these stories
of Jim and Mary Vaughn's pioneer experiences for posterity and today Jack
Vaughn and his book, "Hewers Of The
Wilderness," have become a part of the Vaughn legacy. In December 1975, Jack Vaughn was laid to
rest in his beloved Twin Cemetery among the early family pioneers and the family
patriarch and matriarch, Jim Vaughn and
Mary Vaughn.
1910-1975
Jack Vaughn is buried in his beloved Twin Cemetery
among his ancestors who first arrived in this new territory in 1834.
