I have a Mary Ellen Cadden. She married Oscar Charles Johnson, they lived in Denver, CO.
Oscar was my gf's brother. They are listed as the parents of a cousin in the Denver
Diocese Records. Both are buried at Mt Olivet, the Catholic cemetary for Denver.
The 1900 Census lists an Ellen b: 1872, CA. father born PA, mother birth place unknown.
The Oscar listed would fit my family as far as dates and origin.
Mt Olivet has Mary Ellen listed as b: 1872 d:1942
A marriage listing shows an Oscar "E" Johnson/Ellen "E" Cadden married
Nov 11, 1899 (date would be right for the family times.) They had two children: Frank
Roland Johnson b: Oct 15, 1903 and Melvin abt 2 yrs either side Frank's birth date.
Found James, John, Peter Cadden, Grass Valley, CA 1870, possibly one is her father? Also
assume one or more were related to James Cadden, Luzerne Cnty, PA.
A John Cadden was listed in the Leadville CO directory of 1888 - mining. Cadden's are
rare in CO, so Leadville to Denver wouldn't be a leap.
Any info would be a HUGE help - this name popped up out of nowhere and no one in the
family knows her. Thanks in advance...email:
