 Introduction to Poetry Online Chapter 9 -- Biography
Thomas Stearns Eliot was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, the seventh and last child of Henry Ware Eliot, a brick manufacturer, and Charlotte (Stearns) Eliot, who was active in social reform and was herself a not-untalented poet.
William Greenleaf Eliot, the poet's paternal grandfather, had, after his graduation from Harvard in the 1830s, moved to St. Louis, where he became a Unitarian minister, but the New England connection was closely maintained--especially, during Eliot's youth, through the family's summer home on the Atlantic coast in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
Eliot would finally separate from Vivien in 1933, and would go to great lengths thereafter to avoid personal contact with her; she was subsequently institutionalized, and died in a nursing home in 1947.
