Due to his work, he missed almost all the 1900-01 season, but he returned to the team regularly from late autumn 1901 until the end of that 1901-02 campaign before permanently giving up the game due to his vocation.
Dave resided in the town, and it was at his home, 7 South Street, where he passed away in January 1907 from pneumonia.
