Following the Civil War, he got into lead mining, and was one of the founders of Galena, Kansas. After retiring, he returned to Terre Haute and married. He is buried right near Crawford's mausoleum in Terre Haute under the big "Fairbanks" monument.GFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016219177985587020noreply@blogger.com
