His body was found shortly after 5:00 am suffering from a gunshot wound in his chest. His revolver was found nearby and his wallet was missing. A package of writs he was serving was also located near his body. Deputy Wallingford was survived by his wife, daughter, two sons, and by his three siblings." His murder was apparently never solved.

They had no children.3 On May 10, 1901 she was living at 15 Ohio St. in Bangor when she wrote a letter to the novelist Sarah Orne Jewett commenting on her recently published story The Tory Lover, based loosely on her grandfather Samuel Wallingford. She wrote: "I was greatly interested in your story "The Tory Lover" appearing in the Atlantic Monthly and I wish to ask whether the characters in the story are fictitious or historical. The hero Roger Wallingford [anchors] the [personality] of my fraternal grand-father Samuel Richard Wallingford [first] lieutenant on the "Ranger" under Capt. Paul Jones[.] Lieutenant Wallingford was married to Lydia Baker and was killed before the birth of his son -- George my father -- Madame Wallingford is also a familiar character to me. Berwick and its neighborhood is well known [to us as well]. My sister Olive attended the Berwick Academy. [And we] made our home with our great-aunt Madame Cushing. With us at school were Mary [Necors / Nesois], her sister Lucia and [Miss Whode Nauus / Woodhouse?]. I am sure are familiar to you. With apologies for troubling you."
