      Why?

      Edgar Allan Poe loved cats, he had a cat named Catterina that would sit on his shoulder when he wrote, and slept on his wifes chest to keep her company. After he died they went to his home and found that his cat also died. (But probably just from lack of food yikes) Also, at the Poe museum, there are 2 cats, Edgar and Pluto.
      Edit:
      I'm very annoying but here's some more facts:
      1. Some people think that Poe and Virginia's relationship was more platonic that romantic
      2. Poe's rival, Rufus Griswold, wrote an awful obituary for him in which he said Poe's death “will startle many, but few will be grieved by it”
      3. come on leave him alone he wasn't that gross and creepy, just a very sad man (other than the Virgina thing lol) but he constantly tried to escape the horrors of his life, he just never could
      4. He actually wasn't very famous or successful during his lifetime so people probably wouldn't have recognized him
      5. ok sorry I get this is very annoying I just think people should know more about him

      It was normal back then to marry before 18. In India too where I was raised, people used to marry when they were 13 years old. Like a 13 yr old boy marrying 12 year old girl. It was common back then. Sometimes in villages and rural areas in India this tradition still continues.

    Post Mortem: Just to point out, it is heavily debated over the nature of poe and virginia's relationship. she was in an abusive situation, its thought that poe married her to have a reason to get her out of it, as he did not have the money or status to take custody. she also was a writer in her own right and poe did his best to support her. from both of their writings, it is concluded they never "consummated the marriage", and virginia died a virgin. the supposed scandalous relationship was a theory heavily pushed by the brother in laws and family that believed poe was hiding money from them.

    There's actually a story in my family that one of our great great great uncles, who lived in Baltimore at the time, helped a pale man from a ditch and to the local hospital a couple nights before Poe died. Apparently he was incredibly unwell looking hense the idea of bringing him to the hospital, it was thought by the uncle's daughter that that man was Poe and she wrote it in one of her schoolbooks that we still have from her.

      That is very interesting. It would be even more interesting if you might consider sharing a copy of this letter or book that you have with the Pratt Library in Baltimore Maryland. The Pratt Library is the keeper and conservator of a few items taken from po at the time of his death these few remaining artifacts are kept under lock and key in a vault in the museum. If you contact them the library Museum just might be interested in what you have to share with them. They may even want to analyze it and look over whatever material your family currently still possesses.

      Now, people often think of Poe as this brooding, mysterious figure. But did you know he was also a master of disguise? Yeah, apparently, he used to dress up and go to different taverns just to mess with people. I gotta say, that takes commitment. Imagine spending hours putting on a fake mustache just to creep people out. That's some next-level dedication to the craft.

But Elmira’s father disapproved of the engagement and intercepted and destroyed all the letters. Elmira thought that Poe had forgot about her and married Shelton and had children . After Shelton died she met up again with poe, who had recently lost Virginia . They got engaged again, but poe died. She did not mean to cheat on him.

    I remember several years ago, watching a documentary on Poe, where they assembled a small team of physicians, of various disciplines, to try to come to some determination as to what actually happened to cause Poe's death. I don't remember if this documentary was on television or online. They gathered all the known information of Poe's personal medical history, his family's medical history, his living conditions, his work conditions, and even examined a collection of photos of Poe. If I remember correctly, they determined that it was a sort of "perfect storm" of a number of things.
    1. They determined that he suffered from Macrocephaly. That is why his head was as big as it was.
    2. They also went into discussion as to why his eyes were so sunken and dark. They attributed it to a symptom of breathing in too much fumes from the burning of coal oil (I'm not sure if they came up with a name for the condition). All buildings at that time used coal oil lamps to provide indoor lighting.
    There were other symptoms and diagnoses, but I can't remember what they were. Bottomline, they stated that it was a number of things that killed him .... Not just one thing. I wish I could find that video!

    I feel like the story of Edgar Allen Poe's wife is so twisted to fit his "messed up suffering artist/writer" narrative when in reality, she was his cousin/niece (I can't quite remember) whose parents died of TB when she was 12 which put her in a very awkward position of either 1) being sent to a monastery to live out her days 2) marrying some strange suitor she didn't know or 3) going to a monastery for a few years only to be thrown out onto the streets as an orphan. Poe, as her uncle, was unable and couldn't afford to legally take her in as a child but he COULD marry her preventing her from all of those fates and at the very least she was with family. Is it a fucked up system? Yeah. But It's definitely not Edgar Allen Poe who messed with that, he did the best he could for the little family he had left. Was there a relationship? Muuch later, but not initially. Still messed up but not nearly as much as the initial glance suggests.

    #postmortem (since so many insisted I tag it!)
    Poe married his cousin purely so that she wouldn't be homeless. After her husband died, she was on the grounds of losing her house and everything she owned unless she could be remarried. This was because the law stated that women weren't allowed to own anything; it had to be under the property of their husband. If the man died, the woman was actually considered part of his property. To save her from being married to someone wanting to take advantage of her and the property, Poe agrees to enter into civil marriage with her. This was apparently more common for the time than one would think, but still a little weird. We can only trust Edgar's word that there was never anything sexual or romantic about their relationship. Poe writes that he only had platonic love for Virginia, and even called her "sis" because she held the role of a sister to him. This was the reason he was so heartbroken when she died. It was very akin to the same grief he experienced when he lost his parents.
