Notes: Dorothy was the child of Alfred M and Caroline (Fairfield) Goodale (and a great-granddaughter of Governor John Fairfield of Maine). She married Allston Dana June 11, 1908. In the 1910 census, Allston was teaching engineering courses at the university in Missoula, accounting for their temporary location out west. After moving back east, Allston continued in the engineering profession, particularly in bridge construction, compiling an impressive list of major projects nationwide. In the 1920 census, either the census taker was lazy or the family simply neglected to give their correct vitals, all of them shown being born in NJ with parents bp NJ -- clearly incorect. Moreover, the occupation of civil engineer has been wrongly entered across the entry above Allston's instead of his.
