Early riser, money saver, and tragic fall

Amos Owens in “Beloved Husband”, was a hardworking man that had issues with anxiety. For years he would get up at 3:30 am to deliver papers when he was 10 to then having to catch the 4 am train to take the fish off the train and put it on ice. We was always worried about money. His mother kept instilling in him that he always had to work and provide for her. When we got the job at the fish company, wanted to eventually buy it. He wanted to be able to invest and put his savings into it but fought with himself and kept thinking that he was going to completely loose his money. When Amos finally bought the fish company he got married to Josie. They ended up having two kids named Walter and Edna. One morning he was up earlier then needed and went around to the rooms of everyone and noticed that they had each bought something new. He thought about this to the point of not focusing and falling on ice and breaking his ankle. After this he sold the fish company. He was still unable to sleep and not get up early. His body was just used to it and he didn’t want to change. He followed someone at the train the one morning and his neighbors couldn’t understand why he was doing what he was doing. His wife would always yell at him to let everyone sleep. Although they were pretty well off with money he stressed about it constantly. One day he was up and noticed that his wife, Josie, had purchased another dress and couldn’t understand why she would need another one after already having so many. He went to leave but before he did he went into his son’s room and took his gun. He went to the train station and noticed that there was no one there to get the fish from the 4 am train. As he ran back and forth to try to find someone, his anxiety and stress took over him and he ended up killing himself. Although he didn’t know it, his funeral cost lots of money that he wouldn’t have wanted to spend. He had the struggle of fitting in at home and his community because of his anxiety and his need to keep a routine. He conformed to his own set of rules and structures and didn’t worry about what others thought but in the end that is what ended up killing him.
