She was not permitted to go to school, as that was improper, but received instruction from a series of governesses who taught her German, Italian, and French. Despite a brief stint with typhoid in 1870, Edith enjoyed a luxurious and cultured childhood. But the Civil War diminished their dynastic wealth, so in 1866, the Jones family left for Europe to escape the economic ramifications of the war, and travelled between Germany, Rome, Paris, and Madrid. Her parents, Lucretia Rhinelander and George Frederic Jones, both descended from American revolutionary families, and their surnames had been leading New York society for generations. The baby girl of the family, she had two older brothers, Frederic and Harry.
