Mrs. O. H. Vaughan Dead
The Times mentions with much
regret the death of Mrs. 0. H.
Vaughan which occurred at Dalhart
on Friday May 14th. Mrs. Vaugh-
an was taken to the sanitarium at
the above named place from her
home here more than a week be-
fore her death and after an opera-
tion had been performed for ap-
pendicitis, very little hope for her
recovery was expressed by the
physicians.
The death of Mrs. Vaughan
marks a very sad incident and her
untimely departure was a shock to
the entire community. Mrs. Vau-
ghan was twenty-two years of age,
was married ty 0. H. Vaughan of
this city on Dec. 17th, 1914, at
which time she came to Texhoma
from Alvin, Texas, to make this
her home with her husband.
The body was interred in the
family cemetery at Alvin, Texas,

probably the entire country was
visited by one big, general rain and
now the soil is again soaked with
about all the moisture it can hold.
Fanners were beginning to remark
that a good rain would not hurt
anything and from the tone of their
voices, it occurs to us that this sup-
ply of moisture is of great benefit
to this section. The weather con-
