Inscription


Ellen's age at death in 1901 is mentioned as 67 years old on the gravestone, inferring a birth year about 1834. But census records and other information, indicate that she was born in or about 1846 since the 1900 census lists her birth as "January 1846".

In 2015, a baptism record, dated 7/1/1833 in County Waterford, Ireland was located for "Eleanor Prendergast", daughter of John and Mary (Lyons) Prendergast. This appears to be the same Ellen and confirms a birth year of 1833 that is more consistent with the age at death of 67 years on the gravestone.
