He seems to have left his family during the 1870s, because wife Mary and five of their six children were in and out of workhouses for a few years. Mary suffered from depression and was committed to an asylum in 1874. She died of phthisis in Banstead Asylum in 1889.
Around 1888, John left England for America, settling in Cleveland, Ohio where he found work as a plasterer, wallpaper cleaner, and wallpaper hanger. He married Louisa A. Hexter (1849-1895) in 1890. After Louisa's death, he continued on his own until illness forced him to move in with his youngest child, Mary Slatter Wood. On August 12, 1901, John Slatter died at his daughter's home in Cleveland, Ohio.
