Christopher Grant La Farge was an American novelist and poet known for writing verse novels that chronicled life in Rhode Island.
==Early life and education==
Christopher Grant La Farge was born in New York City the son of the architect Christopher Grant LaFarge and Florence Bayard Lockwood LaFarge. His paternal grandfather was the painter and stained-glass artist John La Farge and his younger brother Oliver Hazard Perry also became a novelist. He grew up in New York City and in Saunderstown, Rhode Island, and later moved to the family farm (named The River Farm) near Saunderstown, which was given to him by his father. He attended St. Bernard's School (New York) and Groton School (Massachusetts).
La Farge, known as "Kipper" to friends and family, enrolled in Harvard College in 1915, but his college career was interrupted by World War I. After reserve officer training in Plattsburg, NY, in 1916 and in 1918, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the cavalry. Discharged after four months in France, he returned to college. While at Harvard, he was an editor for the ''Harvard Advocate'' literary magazine. He graduated from Harvard with a B.A. in 1920 and went on to complete a B.S. from the School of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in 1923.
In June 1923, he married Louisa Ruth Hoar (1898–1945), daughter of Congressman Rockwood Hoar of Massachusetts and stepdaughter of Congressman Frederick H. Gillett. President and Mrs. Warren G. Harding attended the wedding.〔"The President and Mrs. Harding Attend Miss Hoar's Wedding". ''Chicago Daily Tribune'', June 19, 1923, p. 23.〕 They had two children: the cardiologist Christopher Grant Champlin LaFarge (born 1928) and the writer William Ellis Rice “WER” LaFarge. Louisa died of cancer in 1945, and in 1946 LaFarge married Violet Amory Loomis (born 1918), with whom he had a son, the writer Thomas Sargeant LaFarge. With this marriage, he also gained two stepchildren, William Farnsworth Loomis and Joan Loomis.
