Elijah owned property in Portland, Maine, laid out a street through it and named it Pleasant Street. He sold the property in Portland and bought the township of Wesley.( The whole town?)
He went into trade at Machias with Ed Pearse and kept groceries and dry goods. Their home was just across the street from the store. Elijah carried on lumbering and farming in Wesley at the same time; he built a mill at Machias Point on the Machias River - called at that time the steam mill.
It was while they were working on the mill that Lucinda's brothers were taken with the typhoid fever. Then the mother and her sisters became ill. Hadassah and her daughters died one after the other until there was only one daughter, Lucinda, left alive.
After Hadassah and several children died of typhoid, Elijah sold out his store, the big house where he had experienced so much sorrow and shipped the machinery in his saw mill to California in the care of two of his partners in business; he never saw the men or the machinery after.
