Known for has literary ability, he received praise for his manuscript "San Louis Rey." After his wife died in 1871 it has been inferred that Lucien found life difficult and struggled to raise his family.

Lucien requested to be buried in Crawfordville, Florida "until some future day I may be laid by my wife in Tallahassee. Her grave is just east of my father's." It is believed that Lucien DuVal is buried in the Old City Cemetery in Tallahassee without a stone.
