Nathaniel died on December 9, 1882 in the Georgia Asylum in Milledgeville. Cast-iron markers commemorated the 25,000 patients buried on the hospital grounds. The markers, with numbers instead of names, once identified individual graves but the markers were pulled up and tossed into the woods by unknowing prison inmates working as groundskeepers to make mowing easier. Number 72 was assigned to Nathaniel; however, it is not known whether the surviving marker belongs to Nathaniel or the African American person who also had No. 72. This marker was sent to the Smithsonian for an exhibit.
The photo submitted by Shirley Rose is not a photo of Nathaniel.
