PIONEER STAGE DRIVER
Tom Vaughan One of the Most Interesting of Oregon Pioneers.

The Sumpter Miner, in speaking of the illness of Tom Vaughan, the veteran stage driver and father of Dr. E. A. Vaughan of this city says:
Every old-timer between The Dalles and Pendleton knows Tom Vaughan, who in the sixties drove stage from Umatilla, which was at that time the biggest town in the Inland country, through to the then young town of Pendleton.
Later he handled the ribbons for Joe Keeney's stage line between Pendleton and Walla Walla. He has been in hold-ups and express robberies without number. A son, Dr. Eugene Vaughan, a prominent dentist, resides at Pendleton, and another son, Frank, likewise a dentist, is located at Astoria.
