He had no children

One of the interesting facts about Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. is that he has no children. After graduating from law school, he started dating. He had a brief friendship with Fanny Bowditch Dixwell at that period. She is the school's principal's daughter. They got hitched on June 17, 1872, after sitting out of the war, going to law school, traveling, and picking up a trade. They had no shared offspring and remained together until her death in 1929. Despite the fact that their union did not result in any offspring, they adopted and cared for an orphaned cousin named Dorothy Upham

Holmes Jr. constantly seeks other women even though he has been married for more than 50 years. He kept in touch with several ladies on both sides of the Atlantic throughout his life. He also went to see them without taking his wife with him. Even more, he put their pictures on display in his home study space. But it's generally accepted that he only ever had an intimate relationship with his wife, and the two of them were happy together. This proves that he is faithful to his wife, who has accompanied him through the happiest years, the happiest or the most difficult times.
