Matthews died on April 30, 1854 and was buried in the cemetery adjacent to St. Patrick's Church. In the mid-1870s, to allow for construction of a new church, his body was exhumed along with the rest of those in the cemetery. While being transferred to a new coffin, it was observed that the body was remarkably preserved. The corpse was laid in front of the altar, where it remained during the All Souls' Day Mass, before being reinterred in the priests' section of Mount Olivet Cemetery. It was reported that at his death, he requested that he be "laid upon the floor to expire" because he "did not deserve to die in his chair". During the latter part of his life and after his death, Matthews was nicknamed the "patriarch of Washington" due to his contributions to the religious and civic worlds of the city.

In southern China especially Jiangsu Province, China, people eat a bowl of glutinous rice mixed with red beans on the Winter Clothes Day to commemorate a shepherd boy who revolted against a landlord. It's said that a long time ago, an adorable shepherd boy was born in a poor family. His parents couldn't support him, so he made a living by shepherding for a landlord when he was a child. One day, he was so careless that he didn't take good care of the sheep, resulting in that those sheep fell into a valley and died. After hearing the news, the landlord was extremely angry. Consequently, he beat and scolded the shepherd boy constantly. The shepherd boy's begging did not stop the landlord. When the shepherd boy felt that he's going to die because of being beat, he picked up a knife next to him, and killed the landlord. The blood of the shepherd boy made glutinous rice on ground become red. By coincidence, that day was October first. People eat a bowl of glutinous rice mixed with red beans on the Winter Clothing Day to commemorate the shepherd boy.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2 with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into each donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include trimethyllysine alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase, TML-alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase, TML hydroxylase, 6-N,6-N,6-N-trimethyl-L-lysine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase, and (3-hydroxylating). This enzyme participates in lysine degradation and L-carnitine biosynthesis and requires the presence of iron and ascorbate.
