Elijah lived first on a small farm on West Hill in Williamstown, Vermont, and then in the village itself. He had been previously married twice, the second of whom was Sally Goodrich, by whom he had two children: One was Linus, who lived in Corinth, VT, and married Carrie, daughter of C. C. Sargent; the Sargents were prominent people in the town. The other child was Mary, who never married; and was said to be a "large and useful woman."
When it became evident to Elijah that he was dying and would not live to care for his children he said to his wife Aurelia, "Give them plenty of work and keep them at it." She did; and the children took to it well, apparently.
