Late in 1864, he suffered from a very severe attack of typhoid fever which left him in a sadly weakened condition, so much so that he resigned his commission and resumed his profession in Palmyra, but the stalwart form never regained its old time vigor, and he fell an easy prey to pneumonia April 3d, 1871 dying in the village of his adoption, and is buried there.
