Eisenhower House of Pennsylvania

Dwight Eisenhower: Biography, Accomplishments, Economy, Facts, Education, Quotes (1999)
The Eisenhauer (German for iron hewer/miner) family migrated from Karlsbrunn, Germany, to North America, first settling in York, Pennsylvania, in 1741, and in the 1880s moving to Kansas. Accounts vary as to how and when the German name Eisenhauer was anglicized to Eisenhower. Eisenhower's Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors, who were primarily farmers, included Hans Nikolaus Eisenhauer of Karlsbrunn, who migrated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1741.
Hans's great-great-grandson, David Jacob Eisenhower (1863–1942), was Eisenhower's father and was a college-educated engineer, despite his own father Jacob's urging to stay on the family farm. Eisenhower's mother, Ida Elizabeth (Stover) Eisenhower, born in Virginia, of German Protestant ancestry, moved to Kansas from Virginia. She married David on September 23, 1885, in Lecompton, Kansas, on the campus of their alma mater, Lane University.[14]
David owned a general store in Hope, Kansas, but the business failed due to economic conditions and the family became impoverished. The Eisenhowers then lived in Texas from 1889 until 1892, and later returned to Kansas, with $24 to their name at the time. David worked as a mechanic with a railroad and then with a creamery.[14] By 1898, the parents made a decent living and provided a suitable home for their large family.[15]
Eisenhower was born on October 14, 1890, in Denison, Texas, the third of seven boys.[16] His mother originally named him David Dwight but reversed the two names after his birth to avoid the confusion of having two Davids in the family.[1] All of the boys were called Ike, such as Big Ike (Edgar) and Little Ike (Dwight); the nickname was intended as an abbreviation of their last name.[17] By World War II, only Dwight was still called Ike.[11]
In 1892, the family moved to Abilene, Kansas, which Eisenhower considered his home town.[11] As a child, he was involved in an accident that cost his younger brother an eye; he later referred to this as an experience teaching him the need to be protective of those under him. Dwight developed a keen and enduring interest in exploring outdoors, hunting/fishing, cooking and card playing from an illiterate named Bob Davis who camped on the Smoky Hill River.[18][19][20]
While Eisenhower's mother was against war, it was her collection of history books that first sparked Eisenhower's early and lasting interest in military history. He persisted in reading the books in her collection and became a voracious reader in the subject. Other favorite subjects early in his education were arithmetic and spelling.[21]
His parents set aside specific times at breakfast and at dinner for daily family Bible reading. Chores were regularly assigned and rotated among all the children, and misbehavior was met with unequivocal discipline, usually from David.[22] His mother, previously a member (with David) of the River Brethren sect of the Mennonites, joined the International Bible Students Association, later known as Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower home served as the local meeting hall from 1896 to 1915, though Eisenhower never joined the International Bible Students.[23] His later decision to attend West Point saddened his mother, who felt that warfare was rather wicked, but she did not overrule him.[24] While speaking of himself in 1948, Eisenhower said he was one of the most deeply religious men I know though unattached to any sect or organization. He was baptized in the Presbyterian Church in 1953.[25]
Eisenhower attended Abilene High School and graduated with the class of 1909.[26] As a freshman, he injured his knee and developed a leg infection that extended into his groin, and which his doctor diagnosed as life-threatening. The doctor insisted that the leg be amputated but Dwight refused to allow it, and surprisingly recovered, though he had to repeat his freshman year.[27] He and brother Edgar both wanted to attend college, though they lacked the funds. They made a pact to take alternate years at college while the other worked to earn the tuitions.[28]
Edgar took the first turn at school, and Dwight was employed as a night supervisor at the Belle Springs Creamery.[29] Edgar asked for a second year, Dwight consented and worked for a second year. At that time, a friend Swede Hazlet was applying to the Naval Academy and urged Dwight to apply to the school, since no tuition was required. Eisenhower requested consideration for either Annapolis or West Point with his U.S. Senator, Joseph L. Bristow. Though Eisenhower was among the winners of the entrance-exam competition, he was beyond the age limit for the Naval Academy.[30] He then accepted an appointment to West Point in 1911.
