When Walt was four years old, the family
moved to a farm near Marceline, Missouri.
The two oldest boys
didn’t take to this new
life. They ran away from
home and went back to
Chicago.
C’mon, Skinny!
There was a lot of hard work to be done,
and Elias made sure that his children
did their share.
Walt’s best friend was his brother Roy.
Roy was eight years older than Walt.
Look, Roy! I made this
picture of Skinny!
That’s
great, kid!
Walt’s father tried to
make a living selling
the apples from his
two large orchards.
After five years he
knew he couldn’t do it.
He sold the farm and
they moved to Kansas
City.
