He died as a result of wounds received in battle near Fleury, France (Verdun). Originally interred in the cemetery at Auxvenes, France, he was re-interred after the war in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Dell Rapids. Because he was the first from Dell Rapids to die in the war, the Dell Rapids American Legion Post was named in his honor.
