I have most of the census data, last census was 1880 he was 75 does not show in the 1890 census so I must assume he passed between those census, but have no death date nor burial place, except I assume he was buried somewhere in southern Indiana.  So far I have hit a wall.

On Wiki tree it says he died about 1880 in Indiana.

As with Wiki tree someone added this, but I have no proof, that he died in 1880, I have  an 1880 census which shows he was alive in 1880, nor can I find a burial place.  I have tried some Indiana heritage sites but so far they have nothing as well.

Most of the 1890 US Census was destroyed in a fire.

Thanks, He may have still been alive in 1890 but I doubt it.  Just seems like there are no death records or place of burial.  I have tried going thru the Indiana records and so far nothing.
