Mother of Baseball Hall Of Fame player & manager John McGraw.

Ellen is buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery, Truxton, NY, under the name of McGrath (McGrath was the actual spelling of the surname in Ireland and pronounced McGraw).

Ellen died 29 August 1883 in Truxton, at the age of 30. The cause of death was perimetritis, an inflammation of the membrane covering the uterus, which was apparently a result of the childbirth a month before her death, or an extension of it. Most likely diptheria was a contributing cause.

Ellen is the daughter of JOHN COMERFORT and CATHERINE RYAN.
