He lived until sometime in the 1880s.

The specific year of his death is not established in the documentary sources with certainty.

He outlived his son, carried the grief of a parent who watched their child be killed, and maintained whatever knowledge he held of the burial location until his own death.

Whether he disclosed the specific location to anyone before he died — whether he passed that knowledge to specific trusted people in the community — is not established.

The possibility that the knowledge of the burial location died with him, or was fragmented into pieces that no single person can now assemble, is real.
