Although the Waukon Republican Standard & Allamakee Journal also published obits giving Mt. Olivet cemetery as place of burial, he is buried in West Ridge cemetery. He has a gravestone in that cemetery.

Also the Allamakee Death Records give burial place as West Ridge, as does an obit in the Waukon Democrat.
