His obituary3327 states that he removed from Caton to Coopers Plains about 1880. Later, he went to Bolivar, Allegany Co. From there he moved to Kansas where he bought a farm. However, because his health was failing, he returned to Corning, NY, in the fall of 1887.

Following Gustavus' death, she ran a boarding house (1900) in Horseheads, NY.
