Vannah Elliot was named after two close friends of his father, Dr. William Law Van Horn, both doctors: a Dr. Vannah and a Dr. Elliott, according to a story told to me by my great Aunt Elizabeth Tanzik-Van Horn. These two doctors set up a scholarship fund for the Van Horn children to go to medical school at Tulane University after the sudden and unexpected death of their father in 1895.
