Description	:	1993 note from St. Mary's & St. Joseph's Cemetery Corp: John Shugrue and Ellen Connell Shugrue "are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, Norwich. John Shugrue died Sept. 18, 1911, age 59, Ellen Connell Shugrue died Sept. 28, 1894, age 42. Unfortunately, in checking our old records they never listed where they were interred. All the record said was in old lot. This usually meant they already had a family lot in the cemetery...We have gone through the cemetery and checked each stone to give most of the burials locations. Apparently John and Ellen's name did not appear on a stone."

He had been a tough and vigorous man who was a great swimmer. According to his obituary in the Norwich Bulletin on September 19, 1911, he had been born in Ireland to James and Margaret Shugrue and had been a resident of the Greeneville section of Norwich for 40 years. He was a laborer who had worked primarily in the paper making businesses in Greeneville. He was a widower by 1870, when he married his second wife, Ellen Connell, on February 20 at St. Mary’s Church, Norwich; no appropriate record of a marriage and the death of a first wife has yet been found either in Ireland or the United States. A trunk with the name 'Johanna' on it is said to be that of his first wife. He supposedly used this trunk when he emigrated. John and Ellen “Shagre” lived in the Greeneville section of Norwich in 1870, according to the census. In the 1880 census, they were John and Ellen “Shugrow”, living on Golden Street. "He was a member of St. Mary's Church and took an active interest in the affairs of the church," according to the Norwich Bulletin. "He was a man whose interests centered in his home, and he was a kind and indulgent father. His death is mourned by many friends in the community." The funeral began from his home at 16 Golden on Wednesday, September 20. There was a requiem mass at St. Mary's Church officiated by Rev. William H. Kennedy. A solo was sung by Mrs. Mary L. Sliney. Though the family had requested no flowers, there were "numerous and beautiful" floral arrangements. "There was a large attendance," according to the Norwich Bulletin, "including many from out of town.”
