Elephant shrews may not be true shrews, but, like their shrewish cousins, are known for being hot tempered and quite flighty. It is a wonder, then, that this pair ever got together in the first place. Uriah met Eudora while working in a general store in northern New York State, and began to court her with ribbons, trinkets and flowers not long afterward.
Eudora was coquettish and feigned shyness for a few months, but was eventually won over by Uriah's gifts and his promises of a bright future to the west. Records show that the pair left New York in 1802, but after that no trace of them is to be found.
