At the conclusion of the war, Hough remained aide-de-camp to Thomas at Louisville and followed him to the Military Division of the Pacific in 1869. A career military man, Hough was elevated to the rank of Colonel and served throughout the Southwest before retiring in 1890.
He passed away in Princeton, Mercer County, New Jersey in 1908 aged 82.
