"A very sad accident happened
near Ninety4six on Dec. 2eth, last,
when Perry Vaughn was accidentally
shot by Ray Elkin while they we're
out hunting with other boys: Perry
Vaughn died one week later as re-
suit of the wound received, which
developed into blood poison. Perry
was. a son OF = Mr.. and Mrs:,J.~ L.
Vaughn, recently of the Dbenezer
section of Oconee, but who have been
residing near Ninety-Six for the past
two years. Ray Elkin is son Of
Samuel Elkin, Of the Ebenezer sec
ton, who was visiting at the Vaughn
home at the time of the accident
Perry Vaughn leaves father, mother,
four sisters and four brothers, be-
sides numerous other relatives and
q host Of friends to mourn his un-
timely death. He had been stu
dent at Spartan Academy, near Spar
tanburg, until the Christmas holi-
days, going home happy and full Of
life to spend Christmas with home
folks. There are many who will miss
his ever friendly smile and pleasant
words. He was nearly II years Of
age. The body was buried near his
home, at Sloan Baptist cemetery,
on Tuesday Of last week, Jan. 3D..
The sad accident occurred as Perry
Vaughn was handing the shotgun to
Ray Elkin, the weapon discharglng
as the transfer was being made, the
load OF shot entering the right leg
and lodging in the left, making a
fearful and very painful wound, but
one which at first was not thought
to be particularly serious. Phys,-
clans were summoned at once and
everything done that could be, but
to no avail, though the sufferer
appeared to improve for a time. A
while before his death it was deci-
'ded to take him to a hospital for
surgical attention, but he began to
grow, rapidly worse. and death camo
before he could be taken to the hos
pital. The Vaughn family attach no
blame to young Elkin, as til ey know
the unfortunate tragedy was purely
the result of accident. The bercave.l
ones fhave the deepest sympathy OF
many friends in Oconee, where the
family are we'll known.
