Harlen Flax

Harlen Flax was an illiterate farmer who dreamed of bigger things but unfortunately, was unable to reach them. He was the first to discover human bones on the Red property, stirring up the mob that burned the farm to the ground. His frequent stomach troubles and mental breakdowns improved for a time after Ella Red's death, which was enough to convince everyone of her wickedness even when his illness inevitably returned. He died of the flu and was buried in White Sparrow Cemetery alongside his children.
