Harry worked as a barber when he was in Nebraska, but when he returned to NY he obtained employment with the NY Central Railroad. He was working as an engineer in Buffalo when he was struck and killed by a train on December 6, 1899. His body was returned to Syracuse, the long-time home of his 2nd wife Cora, and he was buried in Oakwood Cemetery.
It is interesting to note that in 1895, one of Harry's sons from his first marriage came to Syracuse and reported Harry as a bigamist. At the time, Cora asked for and was granted an annulment from a judge, but later they appear to have reconciled and she was always listed as his widow.
