Edgar Allan Poe was born in 1809 in Boston to actors Eliza and David Poe Jr. He became an orphan before age two when his mother died in 1811 and his father abandoned the family. Poe had a difficult relationship with his adoptive father John Allan and they disagreed until John Allan's death. After the death of his first wife, Poe said "In the death of what was my life, so, I gained a brand new one - oh God! how melancholic existence." Poe's last words were "it's all over" before he died on October 7, 1849 in Baltimore.
