Chester was the second child William Lewis Herndon Arthur, the first born to the couple, was born in December 1860, named after Ellens father, and died in July 1863 from convulsions or swelling of the brain. It was particularly difficult for Nell, her husband wrote, Nell is broken hearted. I fear for her health. Feeling as if they had taxed Williams brain with intellectual demands, they pampered their second son, who led a life that closely resembled that of European royalty. He wore nice clothes, learned to sail and ride, and was taught charm and vanity. His parents had somewhat of a laissezfaire attitude about his academics.
