Death Record of Ceborn Vaughner.

Item

Title
Death Record of Ceborn Vaughner.
Description
Vaughner’s death record states that he passed away from a form of dementia contributed by arteriosclerosis, a hardening of the arteries, at 4 a.m. The document also lists his mother, Mary, and son, Lover. The record also states Ceborn was born in Chambers Alabama and died in Pilot Point Texas near the St. John’s Cemetery. As indicated in the ‘Race’ section, Eugene was listed as “negro” rather than “black,” like other documents around that time. Unfortunately, according to other census records, Ceborn's birth year is documented incorrectly, but his death year is correct. He would have died in his 80s.
