Theodore Roosevelt: Family Life. The Roosevelt family was a strong close-knit group. The President took a great interest in his children and was fascinating in watching them growup. His letters are full of comments about the children and many letters to them. The children for their part adored their parents, except perhaps Alice, and were very close to each other.
In the immediate aftermath of Roosevelt's death, her widowed husband turned the care of their newborn daughter, Alice Lee Roosevelt, over to her aunt Anna Bamie Roosevelt, the older sister of Theodore Roosevelt. As she grew, Alice Lee learned primarily of her mother from Bamie Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt and his second wife, Edith Kermit Carow, took custody of his daughter when she was three years old.
