He Died Of Liver Ailment

Early in 1852, Webster experienced liver problems that made it challenging for him to carry out his duties as secretary of state. He relocated to his Marshfield home, but his health continued to deteriorate, and on October 24, 1852, he passed away. Webster reportedly said, "I am still alive," as his final words.

An interesting Daniel Webster fact is that the US government named a roadway in New Hampshire after this guy as the Daniel Webster Highway in his honor. In honor of him, the US Postal Service released a number of commemorative postal stamps. In the year 1870, the postal service released the first stamp. More than any previous US President, he has appeared on 14 different postal stamps.

There is a statue of Webster in the National Statuary Hall Collection, and there is also a large statue in Central Park. Towns were named in honor of this statesman in a number of states, including New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and others.
