Best Answer

No -- Garfield's family was not at all rich when he was a boy since he father died when he was 18 months old and his mother had to support the family as best she could.

However, he got a good education and had a successful career as a teacher, lawyer, US Congressman and major general during the Civil War, so he made a comfortable living for his wife and himself and their family.
