He would renounce his Alsatian citizenship on 9 July 1894 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and become a citizen of the United States. On Sunday morning, 2 September 1900, Florian Waldspurger boarded a milk train at the Souderton station in Souderton, Pennsylvania as a passenger, intending to spend the day in Philadelphia with friends. In Hatfield, the train collided with an excursion train, killing thirteen people, and injuring forty-five others. Florian was decapitated and his body was horribly mangled in the accident. The news of the train accident reached his family the following day, and his two of his children, Mary and Ernest, came to Hatfield and identified the body of their father. Florian was buried in what is now the old section of Saint Stanislaus Catholic Church Cemetery in Lansdale, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. His wife survived him by 35 years, dying on 28 July 1935 in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania. She was buried next to him, though no headstone exists for her to this day. He's listed as "Adrian" in his wife's obituary.
