ROBERT VAUGHAN was born near Frankfort, Ky., April 6, 1828, and is a son
of Walker and Fannie (Blackwell) Vaughan, natives of Franklin and Anderson
Counties; their ancestors were from Virginia, and of English origin.
Robert was reared and educated in Franklin County, and in 1847 went to
Cincinnati and studied medicine, graduating from the Eclectic College in
1849.  He commenced practice in New Castle, Ky., remaining there a short
time, and in 1851 came to Louisville, and engaged in the drug business,
which he continued three or four years.  He entered the army, in 1862, as
captain of Company I, Seventeenth Kentucky (Federal) Infantry, and in
January 1863, was promoted to lieutenant-colonel.  Among the battles in
which he took part were Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Siege of Corinth,
Chickamauga, and many minor engagements.  At Shiloh he was severely wounded
in the head, and at Chickamauga was wounded in the leg, leaving him a
cripple for life, and the effects of which finally forced him to resign.
After the close of the war he engaged in the practice of medicine at
Versailles, for fifteen years, and since 1883 has been in the general fire
insurance business in Louisville.  He was married in 1853 to Miss Pauline
Culver, a daughter of W. E. Culver, of Louisville.
