In the several years up to 1916 he was living on and off with his second wife, Florence, in San Jose. In 1917 and 1920 he is found as an ordnance worker at the Mare Island navy base in Vallejo. He continued to live in Vallejo until his death in 1930 of a heart attack.
His death spared him suffering another tragedy. His son, Byron Edgar Dampier, professionally known as Eddie Dampier, was a well known welter weight boxer in the San Francisco Bay area. In 1948 he committed suicide in despair over separation from his wife.
