In her later years, John’s widow, Susan, suffered greatly from rheumatism. She died in 1858, having survived John by only four years. She was survived by three sons; Alfred, Leopold, and Charles; and three daughters; Isabella, Zenobia and Jessie. According to her son Leopold, she “proved a dear and devoted wife… who made my father’s home and life supremely happy, a true and loving helpmate, not only the pride and deeply beloved of a numerous family, but the esteemed of all. As a wife none could have been more inspiring, encouraging or devoted.”
