John A. Dahlgren's second wife was Mrs. Madeleine Vinton Goddard, the daughter of Hon. Samuel F. Vinton of Ohio, who for nearly a quarter of a century was a conspicuous member of Congress. On account of his knowledge of "the rules, great prudence, and sound judgment," he was "perhaps the most prominent leader on the Whig ; Her mother's father was Pierre Bureau, who immi- grated to Ohio in 1792, and was one of the earliest state senators. Samuel Vin- ton's grandfather was Abiathar Vinton, a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Of their children, John Vinton Dahlgren (born at Valparaiso, Chile, in April 1868) was graduated from Georgetown University, Washington, D. C., at the head of his class, was admitted to the bar in 1892, and began the practice of law in New York in 1894. In 1895 he became attorney for the department of buildings. In 1896 his eyesight began to fail (as had his father's) and he resigned. In 1898 the governor nominated him to the State Board of Charities. He married Elizabeth, daughter of the banker, Joseph W. Drexel, and died at Colorado Springs, Colorado, 1899. Another son, Eric Dahlgren, who was graduated from Harvard College in 1889, married Lucy Drexel, sister of Elizabeth. They had 7 children. Even- tually they were divorced, as he appeared to be inadequately endowed with inhi- bitions. He was affectionate by nature. One of the daughters, Katherine Drexel Dahlgren, has a love of speeding in high-powered motor cars; another entered a Roman Catholic sisterhood. FAMILY HISTOKY OP JOHN ADOLPH DAHLGREN.
