Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Perry A. Vaughan of Bloomfield Township passed away on June 27 of this year.
He had lived a full and satisfying life and for many years displayed an active interest in
local and civic affairs. Perry was always willing to devote his time and energy to the
promotion of the public welfare. A former member of this Board of Supervisors, he served
as Township Supervisor of Bloomfield Township from 1931 until November 1, 1950. For
45 years he served as a member of the Bloomfield School Board and was honored by having
the Vaughan School named for him. He also served as a member of the Oakland County
Board of Education. He was Chairman of a Special Committee which studied the need for
and established the Oakland County Planning Commission. He can truly be called the
father of our Planning Commission.
He was a member of Birmingham Masonic Lodge 44, a past patron of OES 220, a
member of the White Shrine of Royal Oak, the Lost Lake Woods Club and honorary member
of the Birmingham Exchange Club.
During all the years that he served as a member of this Board he was an active
member and served on many important committees of the Board and his knowledge, experience
and ability was of great value to the administration of the affairs of this County.
He leaves surviving his wife Mabel; son Perry A. Jr.; daughters, Mrs. Walter
Guthrie and Mrs. John B. Hammond, both of Bloomfield Hills, and Mrs. Albert M. Guthrie
of California, as well as six grandchildren.
This Board of Supervisors extends its sincere sympathy to the members of M-.
Vaughan's family and joins with them in mourning his passing.
