His first son had died before Lewis and Ida moved to Oklahoma. On March 1st, their child, a son, burst into the world, an innocent baby in his family's home. Lewis named his son Ralph Waldo Emerson, in honor of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and both parents hoped their newborn son would grow up to become a poet.
