Edgar Allan Poe -
Edgar Allan Poe was born January 19 1809 and died October 7, 1849. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Some of his works include The Black Cat, The Raven, Annabel Lee, and The Tell-Tale Heart. Poe's death is a mystery.  Several days before his death he was found on the streets of Baltimore in distress. He was taken to the hospital where he died days later on October 7th. What is weird is Poe was not wearing his clothes when they were on the streets and the night of his death he kept calling out the name "Reynolds". All medical records of his death have been lost too.
