Eleanor Roosevelt: Elliott Roosevelt
built 267 days ago
Her mother died of diphtheria when Eleanor was eight, as did her brother Elliott. Though these deaths were tragic it was really the death of her father Elliott, the high-living, affectionate, charming but very erratic Artisan, that affected her most strongly. The troublesome Elliott, the black sheep of the family, died of a riding accident when she was ten, and in later years she wrote about the event as if she had never really recovered from his death. The ten-year-old Eleanor, now orphaned, was given over to the safe-keeping of her mother's mother, "G'ma" Mary Ludlow. Grandmother Ludlow was rather imperious though not unkind, better suited to the protocols of correct child-raising than she was to the loving nurturing an orphaned child. "G'ma" understood Victorian manners and mores, and Eleanor was to learn to be a proper young woman.
