He died in San Diego, CA on January 8, 1942 at the age of 72.

Rutherford's dying request to be buried in California was officially denied by San Diego authorities* and According to Wikipedia "the May 4, 1942 issue of Time magazine noted Rutherford's burial at Rossville, New York, on Staten Island a private burial plot for Watch Tower branch volunteers is on Woodrow Road."

To date no bones have been located in the Jehovah's Witnesses former properties at Beth Sarim, San Diago, California.
