Vaughn and the suicide of his slayer, Abraham Nave. Christmas Eve Vaughn and Miss Elizabeth Strover were married, and shortly after the ceremony a ball whistled through the room. The bride then told her husband her cousin Nave had proposed marriage, was rejected, and threatened to kill her and himself. The wedded couple were spending the honeymoon visiting and driving with relatives. This afternoon Nave rode up and shot Vaughn dead, galloping away to his home. Nave no sooner reached home than he shot himself through the head, dying instantly. His mother fell in spasms and is not expected to live. Title: A Woeful Wedding Date: 1885-12-28 Page: 1
