More information

Hiss was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to Mary Lavinia (née Hughes), who came from an old Maryland family, and Charles Alger Hiss, an executive in a wholesale dry goods company. When Alger was two years old, his father committed suicide and his mother was obliged to rely on her inheritance and assistance from family members to raise her five children. They lived in a Baltimore neighborhood described by biographer G. Edward White as one of "shabby gentility". Though his childhood was shadowed by early loss, Hiss became a high performing and popular student. ...   Hiss was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to Mary Lavinia (née Hughes), who came from an old Maryland family, and Charles Alger Hiss, an executive in a wholesale dry goods company.
