The 1880 Federal Census lists a son named Marton, age 9 months. This is likely Martin, their grandson not a son. Their son Edward Peter and wife Kate Bradt had a son named Martin on Aug 12, 1879. Kate died August 30, 1879. So likely they looked after the grandson in some capacity for awhile.

According to Peter Westfall's death certificate, he died at Utica State Hospital in Utica, NY and was originally buried in New Forest Cemetery in Utica, NY.

His remains were brought to the Grove Cemetery vault on March 13, 1892 according to this article:

—The remains of Peter Westfall who died some time since at
Utica were brought to this place and placed in Grove Cemetery vault, Sunday.
