Gertrude's father Daniel Tyler (1799–1882) served as Union general in the American Civil War. Edith grew up next door to Theodore "T.R." Roosevelt, Jr. (1858–1919) (the elder son of philanthropist Theodore Roosevelt, Sr. and socialite Martha Stewart "Mittie" Bulloch) in New York and was best friends with his younger sister Corinne (1861–1933). She was T.R.'s first real playmate outside his immediate family. Edith recalled, "I was but four years old, when my mother came to the nursery to say that the Roosevelt children were coming to spend the day. I remember hiding my old and broken toys and my nurse explaining that the shabbiest of all might give the visitors the most pleasure." Martha Stewart Bulloch became aware of the "growing intimacy" between Edith and her son and invited her to join him for kindergarten tuition.〔Morris, p. 16.〕 During her childhood, Edith was known as "Spotless Edie."〔Morris, p. 19.〕 Edith and her sister Emily Tyler Carow (1865—1939) were brought up in an environment of comfort and tradition. An infant brother, Kermit (February 1860 — August 1860) died one year before her birth. At Miss Comstock's school, Edith acquired the proper finishing touch for a young lady of that era. A quiet girl who loved books, she was often T.R.'s companion for summer outings at Oyster Bay, Long Island; but this ended when he entered Harvard College in 1876. Although she attended his wedding to Alice Hathaway Lee in 1880, their lives ran separately until 1885. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edith Roosevelt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
