 VAUGHAN FAMILY REUNIONS OF THE PAST

A Place to Reminisce

1998 Vaughan Reunion - Green Cove Springs Florida

    The Vaughan family enjoyed a wonderful 1998 reunion in Green Cove Springs, Florida.   Over 50 Vaughan descendants enjoyed food fellowship and fun on the front porch of the home of the late Mildred Oleta Vaughan Rivers and her husband, the late Judge Thomas J. Rivers.

The VAUGHAN FAMILY COUSINS - Grandchildren of Early Calloway Vaughan & Lucretia Sanders.  Front row:  Charlotte Hamner, Tommy Swinney, Soozin White, Letitia Vaughan.  Second row: Tom Rivers, Judy Milam, Nancy Marshall,   Loy (Buddy) Vaughan, Paul Vaughan, Pat McCullough.  Third row:  Douglas Vaughan, Vaughan Rivers, Linda Shivers   July of 1998

The 1998 Reunion - A Narrative

    The weather was HOT that July of 1998.   The old Rivers home had never been properly air-conditioned so most family members sat or stood on the large wrap-a-round porch that overlooks the scenic Spring Park downtown Green Cove Springs.  This date was chosen for the reunion because it was nearest the birthday of Lucretia Elizabeth Sanders Vaughan who lived in this house until her death in the mid-1960's

    A delicious lunch catered by Sonny's Bar-B-Que was enjoyed by all present.  Afternoon activities included a visit to the Hickory Grove Cemetery where many of the members of the Vaughan family are buried.  A walk through the cemetery is like a walk through history. 

2000 Vaughan Reunion - Glencoe Alabama

Cousin Letitia Vaughan hosted the 2000 reunion in her beautiful Glencoe home on June 17, 2000.  Click the "REUNION PHOTOS" button below to see photos from the Vaughan Reunion 2000.   You'll see "thumbnail" photos.  Click to see enlarged photos.

The 2000 Reunion - A Narrative

    The weather was perfect.  The setting was absolutely beautiful.  The family that gathered enjoyed seeing each other again.   We had a few NEW family members there, too:  Babies Alexis and Veda who hadn't arrived in time for the 1998 reunion. 

    Cousin Letitia was our gracious hostess and did a magnificent job.  She had tables set up on her front veranda, in a clearing in the nearby woods, and in the house for those who wanted air-conditioning!  The family thanks Letitia and her husband Jim for allowing the Vaughans to have the reunion in Glencoe this year. 

    Those families that stayed at the Gadsden Inn and Suites enjoyed late evening visits sharing family remembrances on the deck overlooking the Coosa River.

March 8, 2003 - St. Augustine Florida

Word was received several weeks ago of the death of Austin Mitchell in Kanapolis, North Carolina.   Austin had not missed a Vauighan Family Reunion since we started having them in 1998 in Green Cove Springs.  He was at the 2002 reunion with his granddaughter and seemed to be in the best of health.  He certainly was in the best of spirits, though.   Here is a picture of Austin taken at the 2002 Reunion luncheon.
