When Adeline was expecting their fifth child, Elias went across the Magaguadavic to get a midwife. He did not return but his body was found later, coatless, with grass in the buttonholes of his vest as though he had been
dragged. He was on his back with one or two pieces of silver on his stomach. It was believed he was murdered but nothing was ever proven.
Adeline moved to Anoka, Minnesota about 1860.
