  • Her name is listed as "Mary Ellen Cluff" on her death certificate, which confirms her death date.  Her birth date is shown as 25 December 1826, however, this is likely incorrect.  The inscription on her gravestone shows her death date as 24 December 1837.  The 1860, 1880 and 1900 Utah census all show the year of her birth as 1837.
