Unfortunately, when his daughter Alwen died in 1891, age 17, he was much affected, and his own health rapidly deteriorated. He died in March 1894 and was buried at Whitchurch, Denbigh. His writings include a number of poems in classical metres, and some free verse, such as "Pryddest Llywarch Hen" and "Rhieingerdd Elwy ac Alwen", he also wrote a novel, Y Sesiwn yng Nghymru ("On the Great Sessions of Wales"), which won an eisteddfod prize. A number of his poems were written for the Voelas family, and he may have been considered their household bard. (en)
