The United States Veterans Administration Pension Payment Cards, 1907-1933 (see attached photo) has two death dates: May 19, 1908 & Oct 18, 1909. Unable to locate Jesse in the 1900 Federal Census for Michigan. The Michigan death records lists Oct 18, 1909 as the death date.
Jesse's death year was never carved on his tombstone. Jesse's wife Mary's dates (1833 - 1907) are on the shared tombstone. This tends to indicate that she predeceased him.

He purchased 40 acres of land in Beaver Township, where he has applied his time and energies to the best advantage, and has already placed 25 acres of the primeval wilderness in a fine state of improvement. He affiliates with the Democratic party, and has acted as Postmaster at his present residence, to which post he received his appointment Sept. 18, 1880, and officiated therein one year.
