Victor H. “Pap” Vaughn, Sr., 81, of Chambersburg, died unexpectedly on the morning of Sunday, May 5, 2013, at his home.
He was born on February 29, 1932, in Newburg, a son of the late William R. and Rhoda M. Cramer Vaughn and was the husband of Charlotte L. Hurley Vaughn, who passed away on November 11, 2012.
