Abstract:

Papers of Howard Ridgeway Vaughn, a pastor for the Home Missionary Society, Congregational minister, and religious educator of northwestern Wisconsin, and his family. The papers consist primarily of the papers, sermons, and speeches of the Reverend Howard Vaughn, founder of the religious day school movement; family and professional correspondence; and the papers and writings of Myra Vaughn, daughter of Howard Vaughn, including a biography of her father and a history of the religious day school movement. There are also early records of associations formed to promote the religious day school movement, and documentation of the curricula and course materials used in the religious instruction. The correspondence documents the daily life of the family of a home missionary and minister, and is especially complete for Myra Vaughn. In addition, there is documentation of Myra Vaughn's teaching career at the high school on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, Minnesota.
