James Garfield's Childhood and Education: Garfield was born on November 19, 1831 in Ohio. His father died when he was only 18 months old. His mother tried to make ends meet but he and his three siblings grew up in relative poverty.
Thomas wrote of getting financial help from his Congressman brother: âJames helped me pay for it, and when our house burned in 1877, he helped me rebuild in return for what I had down for him.â The Michigan home had many pictures on the walls of James A. Garfield and their mother Eliza Ballou Garfield. The Garfields had a son on August 25, 1850 and named him James Abram after his uncle. It was said that the baby had the same high forehead and the same features and form as his well-known uncle.
