On Michael's 3rd birthday, his mother Ellanora died of child-birth fever. She had given birth to her son Joseph Henry four days earlier. Joseph died 2 weeks later. Michael's father John P. Gillen remarried to Josie Williams. A year later in 1891, when Michael was 4, his father died. Rather than grow up with his step-mother, he apparently was sent to live with his aunt, Anna M. Gillen-Hose.
