On February 13,1818 George Rogers Clark died. He died at the age of 62. The location of his death was Louisville,KY. The thing that caused his death was stricken with a series of crippling strokes, chair-ridden for 9 years with the loss of his right leg, he was suffering from painful arthritis in his left leg, and burdened for over 30 years by a crushing debt owed by the state of Virginia for which he is none the less legally responsible. George Rogers Clark felt that he no longer had a place in the history of Kentucky or America. when he died, he was buried at Cave Hill Cemetery in, Louisville, KY.
