Ko tana papa, ko Clarence Edmonds Hemingway, he taote, ko tana whaea, ko Grace Hall Hemingway, he kaiwaiata. He mātauranga pai rāua e rua, ā, e āta whakahonoretia ana i Oak Park, he hapori tūpāpaku e kīia ana e Frank Lloyd Wright e noho ana i reira, "He maha ngā hāhi e haere ai te tini o ngā tāngata pai". Mo te wa poto i muri i to raua marenatanga, i noho a Clarence raua ko Grace Hemingway ki te papa o Grace, a Ernest Hall, te ingoa o ta raua tama tuatahi. I muri mai, ka mea a Ernest Hemingway kaore ia i pai ki tona ingoa, i "whakapāhia e ia ki te toa maamaa, maamaa hoki o te whakaari a Oscar Wilde The Importance of Being Earnest". I te mutunga ka neke te whanau ki tetahi whare e whitu nga ruuma i roto i tetahi takiwa whakaute me te whare puoro mo Grace me te tari hauora mo Clarence. Ko te whaea o Hemingway i mahi pinepine i nga konohete huri noa i te kainga. I a ia e pakeke ana, i kii a Hemingway e kino ana ia ki tana whaea, ahakoa ko te kaituhi koiora a Michael S. Reynolds e kii ana ko Hemingway te whakaata i tana kaha me tana hihiri. Ko tana tohe kia ako ia ki te whakatangi i te cello ka waiho hei "pūtake o te tautohetohe", engari i whakaae a ia i muri mai ko nga akoranga puoro he mea whai hua ki tana tuhi, e kitea ana i roto i te "hanganga contrapuntal" o For Whom the Bell Tolls. I noho te whānau ki Windemere i te raumati i runga i te roto o Walloon, e tata ana ki Petoskey, Michigan. I whakaakona a Hemingway e tona papa ki te hopu, ki te ika, ki te puni i nga ngahere me nga roto o Northern Michigan i a ia e tamariki ana. Ko ēnei wheako tōmua i te taiao i whakaongaonga i te hiahia ki te haere ki waho, ki te noho hoki ki ngā wāhi tawhiti, ki ngā wāhi motuhake rānei.  Pātai: He aha te tau i whānau ai a Hemingway?
Ko te tau 1899
