Title	H. C. Vaughn Diary and Photographs
Creator	Vaughn, H. C.
Description	This series of pages, written January 28, 1935, is more of a short autobiography than a diary. Vaughn was born in Monroe County and was sold as a slave to Steve Scoby in 1863. He escaped in the fall of 1864 and found refuge with a General Smart in Mexico, Mo. After the emancipation, he went to school for a short while, then was hired out until he became converted into the religious faith, after which time he assisted the minister under whom he was converted. He eventually attended the Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City, where he completed the Normal Course and received a state certificate. For the rest of his life, he was both educator and preacher, normally holding both positions at the same time, in various Missouri locations, including Boonville, Columbia and Moberly.
