Untitled[edit]
I am W. Franklin Dove's youngest son, John Gregory Dove. I've corrected his birthday to April 11, 1897. The entry had "Frank" as his common name. This is wrong. He, in fact, went by the name "Franklin". He was in the middle of a long chain of "William Franklin Dove"s.
His grandfather of that name immigrated from Somerset County in England in the 1850s and went by the name "Will". He was at one point the head of the Methodist Church for the State of Iowa.
His father was "Frank" and went to Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He was a businessman.
His son is "Bill" who as a child growing up in Orono, Maine, did, in fact, have a chance to ride one of the unicorns. Bill is a molecular biologist at the University of Wisconsin.
And his grandson is another "Will". Will is an actuary in Princeton, N.J. and CEO of Extraordinary Re Holdings, Inc.
