Matilda Vaughn (age 28) is living in Westmark, Phelps County, in the 1885 Nebraska Census.
August J Vaughn (age 46), Matilda Vaughn (age 44) live with children Ida (age 18), Alice (age 16), Eddie (age 14), Carol (age 11), Fred (age 9), Alvin (age 5), Ernest (age 3) and Taggie (age 2) in Williamsburg, Phelps, Nebraska in the 1900 Federal Census
August J Vaughn (age 56), Matilda Vaughn (age 53) live with children Eddie (age 23), Fred (age 19), Alvin (age 16), Ernest (age 14), Tagon (age 11), and Alice (26) in Williamsburg, Phelps, Nebraska in the 1910 Federal Census

Ongoing Research

The following image shows all Matilda Petersons in Illinois in 1870. Our Matilda should have been 13 or 14 in 1870. However, the 12 year old Matilda living in Galeburg seems like a good match, as we know that is where our Matilda married A.J. in 1877, and we don't yet have any record of her living elsewhere in Illinois.

Interestingly, none of the Carl's or "C"'s living in Illinois in 1870 seem to match that Matilda. This casts doubt on Carl J. Peterson as being Matilda's father.

The Galesburg portion of the 1870 Illinois Census shows a Matilda of the right age (13 years old), who is presumably the same Matilda as above. The parents in this household appear to be "Swan Peterson" (Male; 40 years old; R. R. Laborer) and "Sophia Peterson" (Female; 35 years old; "Keeping Home"). Matilda has three younger siblings: Anna (Female; 12 years old), Fridrich? (Male; 8 years old), and Mary (Female; 4 years old). All in the household are listed as being born in Sweden.

The Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763–1900 contains a record of Swan's and Sophia's marriage:

PETERSON, SWAN M	SANDSTROM, SOPHIA	1866-09-08	00A/0163	1866146A	HENRY
