DANTE posted by Elizabeth A. Griffin on Wednesday, March 4, 1998: Looking for info on my grandfather DANTE. He died in Alachua County in mid-1930s. Lived around Gainesville; was math teacher at local "women's college". Died with wife when train collided with their car; his daughter (3-5 years old) survived. They were driving to their "weekend lake cabin" when the collision occurred . He and his daughter were born in Germany, however his wife was American. Suspect that Dante is an alias or his wife's maiden name. Can anyone help me? Please.
