He died Oct 17, 1841 [not in 1851] at the home of Stephen Burch at Rhodelia, Meade County, Kentucky. This is, no doubt, in the Flint Island area. This date per both the Centenary of Catholicity in Kentucky (copyright 1884) and the The Roman Catholic Diocese of Owensboro (copyright 1994). Also the 1841 death year is mentioned on the marker photo recently added to the memorial. He was making the rounds of his mission churches and fell ill from "congestive fever." This also from The Roman Catholic Diocese of Owensboro book.
