Lewis County Herald - Serving Hohenwald, Lewis County Tennessee Since 1898

Martha Elizabeth Vaughan, age 94 of Hohenwald, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, August 7, 2020 while visiting with family in Bremen, Georgia.

Mrs. Vaughan was born on June 19, 1926 in the small town of Big Rock in West Tennessee to the late Joe Rufus Ellis and Martha Ella (Duncan) Ellis, but, according to family, she never enjoyed the country life.

From early childhood she always wanted to be dollied up. She grew up on a farm with eight brothers and sisters. One of her favorite memories of her father was when he brought her a present of red lipstick back from town.
