A few years later Gustav participated in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, this time between France and Prussia for European dominance. This war resulted in the downfall of France and the emergence of a dominant German Empire.

The obituary also states that Gustav was survived in 1902 by three brothers and a sister in Germany as well as his brother Ernst in New Braunfels.
