According to the 1920 census, Ellen was born in Ohio to Irish-born parents. Charlie Burkhardt, citing Ambrose Burkhart, states that she may be buried in Barnesville.
Discrepancies exist regarding Ellen.
The 1920 and 1930 censuses both state that Joseph's second wife was named Ellen and that she was a year or two younger than her husband.
Charlie Burkhardt states that her name was Nellie Kearney, daughter of James Kearney. He gives her birth date as "Abt. 1892" which makes her 25 years younger than Joseph. Charlie Burhardt gives her date of death as 8 Mar 1969 in Belmont Co., OH. The Social Security Death Index has no record of this death.From death certificate:

The Brieding family owned a radio set, as did many of their neighbors.
