Henry Peet and Julia separated, probably in 1903 or 1904. Henry may have returned to the Chicago area. Walter Brown said that Henry was not a Catholic and that caused a problem with Julia's family. He thought that His father lived in New London a short time and then moved to Chicago. He also thought they were possibly divorced in 1903 or 1904. Henry Peet died when he fell through a skylight while working as a painter in 1904. The location of his death and burial is unknown. The Chicago area newspapers were checked for an obituary without results.
