THEODORE T. VAUGHN
Theodore T. Vaughn, son of Thomas and Mercy (Sherman) Vaughn was born in Carver July 22, 1857. He was a scion of one of the oldest families in Carver, large land owners on the East side of Beaver Dam pond that later came to be known as Vaughns pond, and loyal to his family traditions he lived his en- tire life on the ancestral estate. Early in life he became inter- ested in public affairs and a regular attendant at town meetings. He was a member of the Board of Selectmen and Public Welfare from 1890 to 1910 serving most of the time as Chairman; a mem- ber of the Board of Assessors, most of the time as Chairman for thirty years, a record for Carver; and in addition to these duties he served on many important committees.
With large lumber interests he naturally followed the business of his father and operated the Centre mills until the decline of lumber in town, then took up cranberry culture with bog prop- erties near his home and he was classed among the successful growers of the County. He was a charter member of the New England Cranberry Sales Company and American Cranberry Ex- change, serving on the Board of Directors, and as an inspector, and he enjoyed the name of one of its most loyal members, a champion of co-operative marketing to the time of his death.
J. MYRICK BUMP
Although not born in Town J. Myrick Bump located in Carver at an early age and became one of the outstanding characters of the Town. He was a successful farmer and cranberry grower who kept his properties in ship-shape condition, but the most interesting period in his career covered the years which he served as superin- tendent of the Tanglefoot Farm, the plaything of Job A. Turner. During those years he created a beauty spot in East Head woods that attracted sight-seers from miles around. The hills and valleys centering near the present day State forest headquarters were alive with fields under cultivation, the home of livestock and poultry of many species, some of them rare specimens, a lookout from which one might obtain a view of the rolling country covering the adjoining towns, the farm house on the hill near the present day bungalow of the superintendent, one of the largest and best equip- ped barns in the County, with the running gear of the carriages painted yellow and the name of the farm painted conspicuous black, all uniting to present a picture of pastoral harmony and beauty long to be remembered but which quickly went the way of all time after the tragic death of the genial dreamer-Job A. Turner.
But in the years of his busy life Mr. Bump found time to interest himself in public affairs, with special interest in the preservation of shade trees and the woodlands which lead him to champion the work of insect extermination. Although never seeking official position he served the town for years as inspector of animals and slaughtering, and when the town finance committee was organized he was its first chairman, a position he held until failing health compelled him to retire. And so Mr. Bump goes down in the records as one of the builders who made the Town what it is today.

The old section of Lakenham cemetery contains many old style headstones that are fast deteriorating and in a few years they will be beyond reclamation. These slate markers are a heritage from the past and we owe a duty to the future to preserve them. The only fund we have for this purpose was given to us by Rosa A. Cole. but the in- come is insufficient to accomplish the purpose, and unless steps are taken to supplement the thoughtful gift of Mrs. Cole her help will be in vain. There are several among those buried there who have many descendents in the land and if they were to contribute one cent each they would establish a fund that would put the financiering of this project beyond question and give our ancient cemetery a condition and an attractive appearance equal to any in the State. And so it would seem that there must be people in these lines who would gladly contribute enough to make a hopeful beginning and lead to the accomplishment of the dream of our former honored resident-Mrs.Rosa A. Cole.
HENRY S. GRIFFITH,
Treasurer.
