Mayra Alcala - Final Exam

Poe was recently married to his cousin Virginia Clemm. Shelton lived in Richmond, Virginia and Poe set out from there from Balitmore, Maryland. Planning to go to New York City but never reached his destination.
Snodgrass saw Poe at a bar and Poe had a look of "vacant stupidity." He was wearing neither vest nor hie his dingy trousers fit badly, his shirt was crumpled, his cheap hat soiled. Snodgrass thought that Poe had been robbed or cheated of his own. So Snodgrass ordered Poe a room at the tavern. Where Poe would be comfortable and safe. Just until his relatives from Balitmore were notified. When Poe was drunk he would be abusive and ungrateful.
Later on Snodgrass took Poe to Washington Medical College. Poe was given a private room in a section just meant for cases involving drunkenness. Poe's physician was Dr. John J. Moran. All the nurses, physicians, and students thought of Poe as "an object of unusual regard." When Poe reached the hospital he had a tremor of the limbs. What Morgan called "a busy but not violent or active delirium." Poe's face was sweaty and pale. He soon got better. But Poe didn't know when he had left Richmond, all he knew was that he had a wife there. Ocotber 6 Poe began calling out someone's name. It may have been a Balitmore family or his uncle-in-law, Henry Herrings. Poe kept calling out names until Sunday around three in the morning. Then he past away.
