He originally was buried on his farm near Crab Orchard, Williamson County; however, a coal company moved his grave and he was re-interred in Stilley Cemetery in 1969. His first wife, Lydia Rogers Stilley, was also re-interred to Stilley Cemetery in 1967. His second wife was Hannah Moore Stilley. Her burial location is unknown.
