Bio:

Born 1843 in Missouri
Died January 29, 1911 in Dallas (aged 67 or 68)

Vernon was a Confederate Civil War veteran who served with the 9th Missouri Infantry Regiment, Company K. After his service, he returned to Missouri and worked as a farmer, married and had one son. By 1882 he had moved to Comanche County, Texas, and then to Dallas by 1903, where he worked as a carpenter. In 1909 and 1910 he worked as a grocer on Eagle Ford Road in West Dallas. Upon his death in 1911, his obituary identified him as “Dr. W. E. Vernon” and said that he was known as the “Blind Specialist,” but no record has been found of any medical training.
