History of the Lake Huron Shore
with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches
of some of its Prominent Men and Pioneers
H.R. Page & Co., Chicago; 1883.

  [177]
  
       S. VAUGHN is one of the very few residents of the Au Sable
    region who have been acquainted with it for more than a quarter
    of a century.  Mr. VAUGHN is a native of Saginaw and first came
    to Au Sable in 1856 and was engaged in fishing here three years.
    At that time fishing was the only industry, and fishermen's shanties
    comprised the village at this point.  In 1859 he returne to Saginaw,
    and went to Wisconsin, where he remained about a year.  In 1862 he
    again visited Au Sable for the purpose of locating lands for the
    firm of Loud, Priest & Shepard.  But little change had been wrought
    in this region during his residence.  The fishing interest continued.
    FELIX O'TOOLE was keeping a little store, and the firm of Backus &
    Bro. were building a small portable sawmill on the point.  Since
    1862 Mr. VAUGHN has been permanently located here.  For some time
    he has engaged in locating pine lands and then logging and lumbering.
    There is not much territory in this part of the State that Mr. VAUGHN
    is not familiar with.  For a number of years he has carried on exten-
    sive lumbering operations and has been very successful.  He has a
    wife and four children and resides on a farm about a mile from Oscoda
    village.  He built his residence in 1864.  He has extensive real
    estate interests, and several farms under cultivation.  He has held
    the office of supervisor of Oscoda Township eight years and has been
    a member of the school board nine years.  Mr. VAUGHN is one of the
    substantial citizens of Iosco County.  He is liberal toward every-
    thing deserving encouragement, and is well and favorably known 
    throughout the Shore region.
