Mary Ann died about 1883. Vonda Moore, an Ellenberger researcher, and the descendant of William Ellenberger, brother of Mary Ann Ellenberger, said that one or more of Mary Ann's sons paid her way back to Pennsylvania from "out West" during the last part of her life. We do not know what "out West" means. It is not known where Mary Ann Ellenberger died and was buried, but the Chicora, Butler County, Pennsylvania area is a possible place, as that is where John began preaching and where they returned at the end of their lives to live. John and It is noted that Mary Ann and John lived next door to her brother, Enos Ellenberger, and his wife in the 1880 census for Sugar Creek Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and it is possible that she was buried to them. We do not know where Enos and his wife were buried. Because her spouse, John Hahn, was buried 1n 1887 in Bay City, Bay County, Michigan, it is possible that she died there. However, it seems likely that John Hahn moved to Michigan to be with one of his children sometime after Mary Ann's death. John and May Ann's daughter, Christene (Hahn) Dieter was buried in the Hemphill Cemetery at Chicora, along with her husband and their daughter and perhaps her daughter. Between these graves and the next grave is vacant land that may hold the remains of Mary Ann Ellenberger.

The space between the Christene (Dieter) Hahn Family in the foreground and the next grave marker in the upper right, is a possibility for the burial place of Mary Ann Ellenberger. (The photo of 2001 was provided by Vonda Moore.
