Message Board Post:
Official death records in Indiana didn't begin until about 1882 but were sketchy even
up until the 1920-30s. If the death of Alexander Vaughn/Vaughan occurred prior to that
time period, your best bet is to look for a death notice in a newspaper, cemetery burial
record, or census mortality schedule listing (if within a year prior to the census). If he
owned real estate, you should check for a will or estate record or possibly a property
transfer record (if he owned real estate in more than one location, you should check all
locations in which you know he lived). The Washington Public Library has older newspapers
online which you can browse or search at the following URL:

Hope this information will help you in your search.
