![Mary M., daughter of Judge Henry A. Clover, of St. Louis. Although still many years this side of the prime of life's goal, Dr. Talle has already achieved high rank in his profession. JOHN W. VATTGHAK Born in St. Louis County, Mis- souri, Dr. John YV. Yaughan has lived nearly the whole span of his very useful life in the Missouri me- tropolis, and won whatever honors he wears within a few miles of the home of his boyhood. Having attended the public schools he afterwards completed his literary schooling at Central Col- lege of Fayette, Mo., graduating therefrom in 1880: During two years succeeding his graduation, and while studying preparatory to his medical educa- tion, he was principal of the for- mal School at Lineville, la. He received his diploma from the St. Louis College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1881. Shortly after- wards he went to Europe and spent a year at Yienna, where he took a post-graduate course. Before re- turning to America, Dr. Yaughan toured the continent and wrote for a St. Louis journal a series of arti- cles of high literary merit, based on the observations of his travels. On his return to St. Louis he at once began practice, and has con- tinued in active professional work ever since. During five years of his profes- sional career Dr. Yaughan was Pro- fessor of Physio]ogy and Demonstra- tor of Anatomy in the College of Physicians and Surgeons. From 1888 to 1890 he was secretary of the Missouri State Board of Anatomy. He fills the Chair of Professor of Clinical and Orthopedic Surgery in Barnes' Medical College, and is a member of the American and In- ternational Medical Societies. Close application and hard work have won for Dr. Yaughan, while yet a comparatively young man, a place among the foremost of the profes- sion in Missouri.

As a boy he was very bright and ex- ceedingly fond of study, and he re- ceived a thorough fundamental edu- cation in the public schools of his native town, completing his first course of study later at Cheney's High School there. His uncle, James B. Olcutt, Horticulturist for the State of Connecticut, and one of the trustees of Storr's Agricultural College, urged him to take the ex- amination to enter that institution, which he did, and was successful, where he diligently studied for some time. Four years later he took up the profession of pedagogy in one of the country villages of Connecticut,](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21221054_0473.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
