Biographical history
David James 'Tun' Vaughan (or Vaughn) was a butcher and operated a meat shop near his home in Musquodoboit Harbour. His house was located at what is now 7592 Highway 7 and his shop was located to the west of his house, in what is now a clearing (2012). The shop began operating in the 1920s and closed sometime during World War II. Vaughan did his butchering by the Riverside graveyard near the river. This location was later the site of a mink ranch.
David James Vaughan was born September 9, 1890. His parents were David Vaughan III and Emma Gertrude Smith. He never married, passed away in Musquodoboit Harbour on December 7, 1949 and is buried in East Chezzetcook.
Custodial history
Records were donated to the Musquodoboit Harbour Heritage Society (MHHS) by the Vaughan family. The records were housed at the Musquodoboit Harbour Railway Museum until they were donated to the Eastern Shore Archives by the MHHS in 2012 as part of a larger donation of local history archival material following a change in the MHHS collections mandate. Textual material in series five was originally donated to the MHHS by Andrea and Dale Montgomery.
