Salem Camp Trustees Adopt
Resolutions, Death Judge Vaughn
) Honorable Clarence Row
land Vaughn passed from his
earthly home into his heaven
ly home on November 16, 1960.
Having been stricken en route
to his home at Convers, Geor
gia, from a trip to Florida with
his wife and two sons, he was
taken to a hospital in Cairo,
Georgia. Death came shortly
thereafter, following what hos
pital officials reported to have
been a cerebral hemorrhage.
Serving his tenth year as
Judge in the Stone Mountain
Circuit, which includes DeKalb,
Newton, and Rockdale coun
ties, Judge Vaughn had be
come one of Georgia’s distin
guished jurists, known for the
wisdom of his decisions; the
fairness, courage, and forth
rightness of his rulings: and a
demonstrated humanity and
sense of humor balanced pro
perly by a great and command
ing personal dignity and a
deep-seated respect both for
human justice and for constitu
tional law.
The Interests of Judge
Vaughn reached beyond the
duties and orivileges of his pro
fession. His effective leader
ship in civic, political, fratern
al and religious affairs issued
from his commitment to all
that was relevant to the best
welfare of his church, his com
munitv, his state, and his na
t:on. Law was his profession,
hut the interest and welfare of
his fellowman was his mission
in life. This sense of mission
prompted and motivated his
dedication to his church, his
community, and his state. As a
personality he was so striking
in aonearance and so com
manding and forceful in his
bearing that he became the
center and natural leader of
men.
Born in Newton County,
Georgia, on June 8. 1891, near
Salem Campground, he moved
at an early .-■■■ with his family
to . Conyers orgia. There he
grew, like One of old, “in wis
dom and in stature and in fa
vor with God and Man". He
became an honor to all who
knew him. He served h’s
church officially and faithfully
and powerfully with deep
Christian commitment. He re
.snonded to the call of his coun
try during World War I. He
reflected credit upon business
by his honesty and fair deal
ings. He was more than a mere
visiting member of civic and
fraternal groans to which he
belonged: in these areas his
clear voice and good judge
ment prevailed. He brought
eminence to the courts be
cause of his wisdom, his legal
insights, and his dedication to
what was right, just, and hu
mane.
Whereas, The late Judge
Clarence Rowland Vaughn was
e’ected a member of the Board
of Trustees of Salem Camp
ground on August 12, 1924. and
was at the time of his death on
November 16, 1960, the oldest
Trustee in point of service,
having served continuously for
thirty-six years and three
months: and for eighteen years
three months, since August 12,
1942, had served as Chairman
of the Trustees of Salem Camp
ground: and,

Georgia veterans figuring
their federal income taxes need

listed on income tax forms:
1. All pensions, compensa
tion and other benefits paid by

survivors for service in war or
peacetime.

mobile Underwriters Associa
tion, who made the filings.

public hearing on these filings

drivers with clean records for
three years would get 15 per
cent discount. Higher prem
iums would be charged to driv- '
ers with records of accidents
and traffic violations.
