CLAY VAUGHN.[[/caption]] Mr. CLAY VAUGHAN, principal at Moberly, Missouri, has done service in the pulpit and in the schoolroom. He entered Lincoln Institute in 1871 and spent seven years here, finishing the course in 1878. Upon returning home, Paris, Missouri, he was elected principal of the school there, and was simultaneously "called" to the pastorate of the Baptist church there. These two positions he held until he was called to the pastorate of Morgan Street Baptist church in Booneville, Mo. Still clinging to the profession of teaching, he taught at Old Franklin and New Franklin while yet holding his charges. [[end page]] [[start page]] 71 H. CLAY VAUGHAN. So on and on he went, preaching and teaching at Palmyra and Ashley, at Columbia and Moberly. He was elected to teach in the school at Moberly and later to the principalship of the same, where he is now teaching. He was married to Miss Finetta D. Johnson, of Jefferson City, in 1879. To their union are born three girls, Erna, Vertie, and Myrtle. The first graduated from Lincoln Institute with honors in 1904, and the last named is now a member of the Senior Normal class. Mr. Vaughan owns two valuable homes in Moberly in the section of the city where the value will enhance with the growth of the city.
