Ollie Vaughn

Jackson Man Killed In Henry Mishap
A Jackson man, Ollie Vaughn, 70, of Route 1, was killed Friday night in an accident north of Locust Grove on U. S. 23 when the car he was driving south left the road and struck a telephone pole near the Georgia Power substation.
The accident was investigated by the Georgia State Patrol. The troopers said that Vaughn's car was traveling at a high rate of speed when it went out of control on a curve, and overturned several times before striking the pole. Those first on the scene reported that the driver was thrown some 12-14 feet from the car, his body apparently going through the windshield. Death was believed to have occurred instantly.
It was reported here that Mr. Vaughn had been to Atlanta to make funeral arrangements for his brother and was on his way home when the accident occurred.
He is survived by his wife, Elsie Vaughn, of Jackson and a daughter, Pearl Travis, of Jenkinsburg. Trimier Funeral Home of Jackson is in charge of arrangements.
