Died of consumption according to Troy Burial Records, which also record him as being buried in the Vault.
Gillespie Gourlay's mother died the year he was born, but was buried in Worcester, Massachusetts in the Pine Street Burial Ground, which seems to no longer exist.
"The burial ground at East Worcester, having a frontage of five hundred feet on Pine street, which originally comprised eight acres, first began to be commonly used in 1828. [...] By successive cuttings off from time to time, on the south side, since the opening of the Boston and Worcester, and Boston, Barre and Gardner Railroads, this burial ground has now been reduced to 90,000 feet, or a little over two acres, and it will probably all be soon used for other purposes, the larger portion of the bodies interred there having already been removed, and the remainder will soon be. [...]
"The burials in over fifty family lots yet remain to be removed, among them the following: [...]
"Harriet, wife of Francis R. Gourlay, Nov. 24, 1846, aged 40."
