Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born on a bitter day in January
1882. He was so unhealthy, that both he and his mother nearly died
during his birth. Although they both recovered with good health,
Mr. And Mrs. Roosevelt held off naming Franklin for two months. As a
result of his difficult birth, Mrs. Roosevelt could not bear children

His father was James Roosevelt, a graduate of Union College and
Harvard Law School, though not a practicing lawyer. James lived a

twenty years.
