He was born in Yorba Linda on January 9, 1913 to Francis and Hannah Nixon. Nixon spent his early years in Yorba Linda on his family’s ranch and did not actually move to Whittier until he was 9 years old. His family was working class and on their arrival in Whittier, opened a small grocery store in which Nixon spent time helping his father. His parents were religious, devoted members of the Quaker faith which led them to instill in Nixon a strong sense of hard work, social activism and a faith in God. Nixon did extremely well in school despite him working hard in the family business. He attended Fullerton High School until his junior year and then he was transferred to Whittier High School. He ran for student body president and although he lost, he was given the position of General Manager by the faculty to reflect his achievements.
