Thanks for your reply to my post. Since I posted my message back in 1998, I have found where and when Eliza (Self) Vaughn died. She died in Cass County, Missouri on Mar 7, 1900. I have obtained her Cass County probate file. I still don't know where she is buried however. And I still have not found out anything additional about William Henry Vaughn except he must have been dead at the time his wife Eliza died in March of 1900. You say your grandparents were friends of the William Henry Vaughn family. Do you think this William Henry Vaughn is my William Henry Vaughn?
