Elijah Ipswich

Elijah was a shy, reclusive young man whose main passion in life appeared to be hoarding money. He rarely socialized and spent most of his time alone, writing strange, unwanted letters to unknown authorities in Boston. He took in Inferna Flax, the youngest sister of his brother's wife Fearful, under the guise of needing a servant, but they never married. He wasted away after a painful stomach illness, leaving his aging wife and illegitimate children in a desperate situation.
