Anne Sturgis Roosevelt

Known as Nina, ihe daughter of Mr: and Mrs. John A. Roosevelt of New York. She spent much of her childhood at the family cottage retreat, Val-Kill — now a National Historic Site — in Hyde Park, N.Y., 90 miles north of New York City. After FDR's death in April 1945, Eleanor took up residence in Val-Kill. It was the only residence she personally owned, located on the Roosevelts' compound in Hyde Park; John and his family lived next door. In about 1951, when Gibson was 9, she moved into Val-Kill with her grandmother after contracting polio to prevent infecting her newborn sister, Sarah.
