During his time as sheriff, he was shot while pursuing two suspects into Vernon County; a bullet remained lodged in his lungs, which reportedly contributed to his death[2] after he fell ill during a business trip to Minnesota in 1878.[1] He died at his home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.[1][2][4][5] He was serving on the Beaver Dam Common Council at the time of his death.
