John N Vaughan Dies At Home In Norfolk
War Veteran and Prominent Business Man to Be Buried Sunday

Norfolk, Va., Jan 25.-Colonel John Norfleet Vaughan, founder of the cotton 
firm of Vaughan & Barnes, Inc., a veteran of the army of the South in the 
War Between the States, and for fifty years one of Norfolk’s most prominent 
citizens, died today at his residence here. He was 77 years old.
Enlisting in the Southern forces at the outbreak of the intersectional 
strife when scarcely 15 years old, he was cited for conspicuous bravery on 
numerous occasions, and had been made a full colonel before General Robert 
E. Lee surrendered. Colonel Vaughan was forced to dispose of his interest in 
the cotton firm about a year ago on account of his health. He was a native 
of Hertford County, North Carolina, but had spent most of his life here. 
Besides his wife, Mrs. Annie Lawrence Vaughan, Colonel Vaughan is survived 
by three daughters, Mrs. D. Lawrence Gronore, Mrs. G. S. Friebus and Mrs. A. 
G. Bailey; six grandchildren, John Vaughan Groner, D. Lawrence Groner, Jr., 
Duncan G. Groner, Miss Nancy Friebus, Miss Jane Bruce and Miss Emily Bruce, 
and a great grandchild, little Marguerite Groner, all of Norfolk.
Funeral services will be conducted here Sunday morning at 9 o’clock by the 
Rev. Beverley D. Tucker, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern 
Virginia, and the Rev. Francis C. Steinmetz, S. T. D. rector of Christ 
Episcopal Church, of which Colonel Vaughan was a member. Burial will be in 
Elmwood Cemetery.
