In 1887 he was fishing in southern Missouri when caught in a bad storm from which he developed pneumonia. He refused alcohol as treatment. The following obituary is quoted in part from the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Herald Magazine:

"FREEMAN.--Bro. Walter Burton Freeman was born at McGregor, Clayton county, Iowa, May 19th, 1858; united with the Church of Jesus Christ, November 10th, 1883; his spirit took its flight from this world of trouble at Independence, Missouri, November 19th, 1887. He leaves a sorrowful wife and two small children, also many relatives and friends, to mourn his death. He died firm in the faith; and Jesus has said: 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.' Bro. F. C. Warnky preached the funeral sermon, assisted by Bro. H. R. Mills."
