GARFIELD, James Abram, twentieth presi-dent of .the United States, b. in Orange, Cuyahogaco., Ohio, 19 Nov., 1831; d. in Elberon, N. J., 19Sept., 1881. His father, Abram Garfield, was a na-tive of New York, but of Massachusetts ancestry, descended from Edward Garfield, an English Puri-tan, who in 1030 was one of the founders of Water-town. His mother, Eliza Ballou, was born in NewHampshire, of a Huguenot family that fled fromFrance to New England after the revocation of theEdict of Nantes, in 1085. Garfield, therefore, wasfrom lineage well represented in the struggles forcivil and religious liberty, both in the Old and in. the New World. Abram Garfield, his father, movedto Ohio in 1830, and settled in what was thenknowm as The Wilderness, now as the WesternReserve, which was occupied by Connecticut peo-ple. Abram Garfield made a prosperous begin-ning in his new home, but died, after a sudden ill-ness, at the age of thirty-three, leaving a widowwith four small children, of whom James was theyoungest. In bringing up her family, unaided ina lonely cabin (see accompanying illustration), andimpressing on them a high standard of moral andintellectual worth, Mrs. Garfield displayed an al-most heroic courage.

At three year.-, of age JamesA. Garfield went to school in a log hut
