ALFRED GWYNNE VANDERBILT
(S&B 1899)
*  Brother of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
*  Skull & Bones member (Ini. 1899)
*  Co-Founder of Guaranty Trust. (Bk-44, 132-33)
*  Represented the Vanderbilt family in Guaranty Trust until
    he drowned at sea in the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.
    The power of the Order is reflected in a bizarre incident as
    Alred Gwynne Vanderbilt boarded the Lusitania in New
    York on it's fateful voyage. A telegram warning Vanderbilt
    not to sail was delivered to the Lusitania before it sailed--
    but never reached Vanderbilt. Consequently, Vanderbilt
    went down with the ship. (Bk-44, 133)
