Fearful Flax

Fearful Ipswich was one of the only surviving Flax children. Pretty and hardworking, as a young woman she was well liked in town. Her exterior conealed deep sadness and despair after witnessing the terrible events of the Red farm, the deaths of her siblings and the periodic insanity of her father. She married Isaiah Ipswich and believed a change in station would solve all her problems, but found her new life as disappointing as the last.

She took comfort in the arms of strange men and often, strange women. Fearful found herself unsuited to motherhood but unable to escape the responsibilities placed on her by her station to have children. She died of old age and was buried in the Ipswich family tomb.

Her children were
