He consistently listed his occupation as farmer. Also, his brother, Horace, appears to have made his home with Orrin's family throughout his life.

Orrin died on 12 Sep 1947. His obituary stated that he was survived by his wife and a son, Charles which indicates his daughter, Florence, preceded him in death5. His funeral was officiated by Rev. Henry D. Baker (a cousin). Orrin was buried in the New East Thompson Cemetery6. His wife, Marion followed him in death on 14 Jul 1955 and was buried next to Orrin7.
