David had lived with consort friend Alice SHAFFER working as a Coal Miner in the Boswell mines until his 1915 death. He'd caught a cold continuing to work in the damp coal mine tunnels contracting pneumonia which caused his death.

David's older brother Solomon OGLINE arranged David's funeral. No stone was placed on his grave site. An obituary was published 3/29/1915 in the Johnstown Daily Tribune, and on 3/31/1915 in the Somerset Herald News with burial to follow in Horner Mt Tabor Church Cemetery.

The official State of Pennsylvania, Department of Health Services, Bureau of Vital Statistics Death Certificate #24379 indicated cause of death from PNEUMONIA contributed by DROPSY. David was buried in Horner-Mt Tabor Church Cemetery apparently without a stone marker being placed on his grave.
