From the Weekly Democrat - Ashland, Oregon, October 24, 1913: Amanda M. Connoly (nee Vaughn) died Sunday, September 18, 1913, at her home near Wild Rose Prairie, Deer Park, Washington, of asthma, with which she had been afflicted since childhood. She was born in Platte County, Missouri on October 16, 1845, and was married to Francis Marion Layton June 22, 1864, and again to Edward Connoly on March 17, 1880. With her parents she crossed the plains in an ox wagon in 1847 when two years old, two years before the gold discovery in California, and settling in the Willamette Valley, near where Brownsville now stands. Here she grew to womanhood, married and reared her family of four children. Then, years ago, hoping to improve her health, she, with her family, moved to the Big Bend country, settling near Odessa. Then, for the same reason, four years ago, they came to Spokane County where she resided until her death. She was a member of the Baptist Church for 26 years. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Anderson and interment occurred in the Wild Rose Cemetery. The funeral was one of the largest ever held there and the floral offerings were many and beautiful.
