Born in Conway, a son of the late John Marion Vaught, Sr., and Ruth Thompson Vaught, he moved as a child,to the Nixonville/Tilly Swamp area where he spent the remainder of his life. Following graduation from Conway High School in 1939 and electrical training in trade school, Mr Vaught worked in the Naval Shipyards in Charleston and enlisted in the US Army, Engineer Branch, where he served his country in World War II and the Korean Conflict. Upon leaving the military, Marion and his wife, Elsie Collins Vaught, bought the old Tilly Swamp School property and dismantled the school, using the material to build their business, Vaught's Variety Store. Their store was known as the local gathering place where one could get a haircut at the barber shop, have an auto repaired, purchase groceries, gas,and hardware items, and sit by the heater, chatting with neighbors. In 1967, the Vaught family closed the store and Marion began work with Lord Electric Company providing electrical installations in the construction of the Grainger Steam Plant in Conway. Impressed by his knowledge and work ethic, Santee Cooper hired him as electrical supervisor for the plant upon its completion. He retired from Santee Cooper in 1988.
