Rear Admiral Andrew Hull Foote-- Part 4: His Death

Despite the wound, and after repairs to his ships, Foote joined with General John Pope in operations against Island No. 10 in the Mississippi River.

Later in 1862, Foote was promoted to the rank of rear admiral.

In 1863, while on his way to take command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, he died suddenly in New York City on June 26.

He is buried at Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, Connecticut.
