In the 1870 Census, Sylvester owned a sawmill. His real estate was estimated at $25,000 and personal estate at $5,000. Stephen and Jeffrey Vaughan apparently worked for him.From the book "History of Northern Michigan" page 618 found at the Traverse City District Library 4/15/94:"Sylvester Vaughan, who passed to the great beyond on the 12th of April, 1911, was long and successfully identified with the lumber industry in northern Michigan. Mr. Vaughan was born in Saginaw City, Michigan, in 1837, a son of Roderick W. and Clarissa Vaughan, both of whom were natives of the state of New York, whence they came to the old Wolverine state in the early pioneer days. Settlement was first made at Detroit and thence they removed to Saginaw City, where the father was engaged in business. Mr. and Mrs. Roderick W. Vaughan became the parents of twelve children and of the number Sylvester, of this review, was the last survivor. Four of his brothers were gallant soldiers in various of the struggles which have disturbed the peace of this country. Erastus was in the Michigan and Toledo disturbance over the boundary line between Michigan and Ohio; George was a soldier in the Mexican war; and Levi and Conolas were participants in the struggles which marked the progress of the Civil war, Levi having sacrificed his life in the Union cause at the battle of Shiloh. To the public schools of Saginaw City Sylvester Vaughan is indebted for his early educational discipline and at the age of sixteen years he was elected marshal of that place. He continued to maintain his home in Saginaw City until 1862, in which year he came north in the interest of the Land Lumbering Company, for which concern he was prospecting timber in and about the vicinity of Iosco county. Subsequently he was engaged in fishing in the region of Saginaw City and in 1864 he was again in the employ of the Land Lumbering Company. His main work was that of estimating timber and exploring new timber lands. After three years passed in the service of the above company, he began to work in a similar capacity for the Stone & Conkwright Company, with the interests of which concern he was identified for the snsuing ten years. In 1875, he became timber estimator for the firm of S.P. Bliss & Company, and six years later he began the timber business upon his own responsibility, having as a partner in his new venture, John E. Potts. In conjunction with his lumber interests he also rafted logs and he has the reputation for being the first man to run logs out of the timber country in a boom, the logs being rafted to the lake where they were sent to the various points on the lakes east and south. His first consignment was in 1868 and he continued to engage in the rafting of logs up to the time that the Boom Company was organized. In 1870, he purchased a tract of ninety-six acres of land, to which he later added a tract of twenty acres and upon this fine estate, a fine farm of one hundred and sixteen acres of most arable land in Iosco county, he erected substantial and elaborate buildings and there he maintained his home. At various times he bought and sold lands and dealt in real estate to a considerable extent. He was eminently successful in all his business ventures and it is interesting to note here that he himself built the ladder by which he rose to affluence. Among the various public offices of which he was incumbent may be mentioned those of supervisor, highway commissioner and deputy sheriff. He was a member of the board of supervisors for twelve years, was highway commisioner for eight years and for two years was deputy sheriff under Sheriff Quackenbush. In all the relations of life, Mr. Vaughan so conducted himself as to command the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. His straightforward, honorable career is worthy of commendation and his examplary life should serve as lesson and incentive to the younger generation. On the 5th of July, 1862, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Vaughan to Miss Laura A. Hubbell. To this union were five children, two of whom are living, in 1911. Warren P. married Miss Mary A. Cartwright in 1897, and they had four children, namely,--Winnie M., Charles H., Margaret E. (deceased) and Wilhelmina. Edward M. was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. McCluskey, and they have two sons,--Mahlon S. and Kenneth B. [Br¯derbund WFT Vol. 5, Ed. 1, Tree #0090, Date of Import: Mar 13, 2000]
