Notes

Elias Disney, the eldest of 11 children, had himself struggled to raise a family. The Disney name can be traced to France: in the 11th century, French soldiers sailed from what became the Normandy coast to invade England: among them were Hughes d'Isigny and his son, Robert. The family remained in England, anglicising their name to Disney.

The family grew: Elias and his wife moved to the small town of Chicago, where Flora designed and Elias built their own house, and with sons Ray (b.1890) and Roy (b.1893) worshipped at St Paul Congregational Church; Elias became a close friend of the preacher, Walter Parr. Elias volunteered to build a new church for the congregation, and Flora played the organ in the new church. Elias even preached the sermon when the opportunity arose. When both Walter and Elias' wives became pregnant, they made a deal that if either of the children were boys, they would name them after the other. Thus was Walter Disney born on Sunday, December 5th, 1901.
