Children
Evelyn Nesbit gave birth to a son, Russell William Thaw on October 25, 1910 in Berlin, Germany. Nesbit always maintained he was Thaw’s biological child, conceived during a conjugal visit to Thaw while he was confined at Matteawan. Thaw, throughout his life denied paternity.
In 1911, Nesbit reconciled with her mother. Her mother took on the role of caregiver for the child while Nesbit sought out opportunities to support herself and her son.

Famous quotes containing the word children:
“Our children need to be able to see us take a stand for a value and against injustices, be those values and injustices in the family room, the boardroom, the classroom, or on the city streets.”

“You see much more of your children once they leave home.”

“We want our children to become warm, decent human beings who reach out generously to those in need. We hope they find values and ideals to give their lives purpose so they contribute to the world and make it a better place because they have lived in it. Intelligence, success, and high achievement are worthy goals, but they mean nothing if our children are not basically kind and loving people.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
