Another General...
On Nov. 29, 1884, while visiting a friend in New York City, Mott collapsed on a busy street and died. His body was transported to Bordentown by train that evening, where it was received by his widow and daughter. With an outpouring of grief from friends and family, he was buried with full military honors in Riverview Cemetery in Trenton. Less than a year later, another warrior of Civil War fame, General George McClellan, also died of a sudden heart attack and was buried in Riverview Cemetery.

Civil War Union Major General. Rose from Colonel of the 6th New Jersey Infantry to Major General, United States Volunteers. Severely wounded at the Battle of Chancellorsville, he was elevated to divisional command upon his return from his wounds. His division failed to carry out his orders to support an attack at the Battle of Spotsylvania, which resulted in the failure of that attack and General Mott being reduced to brigade command. He later commanded a division in the Army of the James, and distinguished himself in the operations around Petersburg.

Mott resigned his volunteer commission on February 20, 1866. In 1868 he was offered a commission as a colonel in the regular army, but chose to remain in civilian life. He served briefly as an executive with the Camden & Amboy Railroad and as a banker, but spent the remainder of his life in various offices in the state government of New Jersey: state treasurer,[1] warden of the New Jersey State Prison, and major general and commander of the New Jersey National Guard (1873–1884). He died in New York City and was given a full military funeral. He is buried in Riverview Cemetery in Trenton
