Parents
Edith Lambelle Langerfeld was born on July 3, 1883 at New York City, the daughter of Arthur (1855-1931) and Margaret Douglas Langerfeld. Her father was German, born at Elberfeld in Nordrhein-Westfalen, not far from the city of Düsseldorf, while her mother came from Loughgall, a small town that lay a few miles north of Armagh in Northern Ireland. The Library of Congress has in their collection a photograph of Arthur Langerfeld with one of the machines he invented for use in the mining of coal.

Famous quotes containing the word parents:
“Childhood is an adventure both for children and for their parents. There should be freedom to explore and joy in discovery. The important discoveries for both parents and children seldom come at the points where the path is smooth and straight. It is the curves in that path to adventure that make the trip interesting and worthwhile.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we don’t really like them, or at least we can’t stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if it’s dirty little secret. It doesn’t fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Let parents then bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
