| THE WICKENBURG SUN THE WEEK OF APRIL 2, 2003 John E. Vaughn The Resident Fiddler Bid farewell to our resident fiddler, the music will ring no more His mandolins, guitars and fiddles are closed behind a door He could find a battered old fiddle that was just a pile of bones Then with loving hands restore it to release its golden tones As a worker early in his life he was injured beyond repair But when he found his music he found a new way to share To share the song within his soul that somehow found its way Into the hearts of all who sat and heard him gently play He made trinkets for his family earrings, rings and such It was something special he could do for those he loved so much He would play for friends and family when we'd gather for a day The time would seem more special when "Uncle John" would choose to play His heart soared with the eagles as he fiddled on and on Now whenever I hear a fiddle I'll remember "Uncle John" Written in loving memory by Kay Luttrell Vaughn. John E. Vaughn passed away March 28, 2003 in Wickenburg Ariz. He was born Feb. 19, 1939 in Sikeston, Mo. He lived in Arizona for 45 years.
