Childhood
Walt Disney was born to Elias Disney an Irish-Canadian, and his mother, Flora Call Disney, who was of German-American descent. His father moved to the United States from Canada after his parents failed at farming there. After Walt’s birth, Elias along with his family moved to Marceline, Missouri. While in Marceline, Disney developed his love for drawing. One of their neighbours, a retired doctor named “Doc” Sherwood, paid him to draw pictures of Sherwood’s horse, Rupert. He also developed his love for trains in Marceline, which owed its existence to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway which ran through town. Walt would put his ear to the tracks in anticipation of the coming train. Then he would look for his uncle, engineer Michael Martin, running the train.
