AURORA, Or., April 20 --(Special)--
Jonathan Steven Vaughan, a pioneer of 1852, died at his home in Clackamas County, at the old Graham Ferry home, near Butteville yesterday. He was born December 9, 1829, in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1852 he came across the plains with his parents.
Mr. Vaughan was a saddler by trade. He served some time as cook on the steamer Hoozier, the second boat on the Willamette River. In 1858 he was married to Miss Sarah
J. Strong, who survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan resided in Butteville until 1860, when they removed to California, remaining two years. They went to Jacksonville, Or., for the Winter and in 1863 Mr. Vaughan engaged in teaming at the Cascades. Later they returned to the Valley, stopping for a season with Joseph C. Geer, and spending two Summers at the mines in Idaho.
Afterwards Mr. Vaughan opened up a harness shop in Butteville, working at that business for eight years. In 1882 he moved to the old Graham Ferry home and also engaged in the hop business, becoming the third grower in Oregon.
Two brothers and one sister survive him. Cyrus Vaughan, of Hood River; Stewart Vaughan, of Middleton, and Mrs. Mariah Jones of Crescent, Cal. In his immediate family, besides his widow, are Charles, Ambrose, George and Eugene, of Portland; Violet Vaughan of Seattle, Wash.; Mrs. Rose Stephens and Mrs. Josephine Epperly, of Portland,
and Mrs. Edyth Bradbury, at home. Mr. Vaughan was a member of Champoeg Lodge, A.F. and A.M., of Butteville, also of Butteville Lodge No. 59, I.O.O.F. In politics he was a stanch Republican.
