Son of the Rev. Charles B. and Elvira Dana. Both of whom are buried in the Natchez Cemetery. Richard "Dick" Dana is buried in the Family plot. Dick eventually became a boarder in his ancestrial home Glenwood. The home was built in 1841. The house was bought by the Rev. Charles B. Dana upon his arrival in Natchez in 1866. The home appears to have been sold or leased to Stephen S. Forman after the death of Rev. Dana in 1873. Dick left Natchez to attend Vanderbilt, and then music school in New York. He returned to Natchez in 1890. Stephen's brother Richard appears to have taken possession after Stephen's death in 1880. Richard's second wife was Nydia Dockery, dau. of Gen. Thomas Dockery, CSA. Nydia's sister Octavia moved into the home with the Forman's after they moved from the plantation at Fayette into the city of Natchez. Nydia died in 1911. Richard died in 1912. Dick and Octavia continued to live in Glenwood until Dicks death in 1948. The home became known as "Goat Castle". Octavia became known as the "Mistress of Goat Castle" and is buried across the street from Dick in the Natchez City Cemetery. Nydia the "Lady of Glenwood" is buried in the Richard Forman family plot. Laura (the girl's mother) is buried on the street side of Octavia. Octavia is buried between Laura and Gen. Dockery. Richard is buried in his own family plot at the Natchez Cemetery. There are two Forman family plots. Octavia was declared the common-law wife of Dick after his death. This declaration entitled Octavia to remain in Glenwood until her death in 1949.
