I find that it was John's wife Ella that was buried in Methodist
Episcopal Church cemetery (In Commack, NY) and not his mother.
John's sister Ellen Lee's Baptism was at St Mary's, Kingston on
11 March 1841 no middle name.
As for John's death it's still a mystery.

Was there someone else named Lee on Forest Avenue?
Here's an auction at M. A. Lee's place, attended by Damon

I'm guessing M. A. Lee would be John's mother, Mary A. Lee.
Here's some property transfers from 3rd march 1899:

Ella being John's wife. The Van Nuis guy, I don't know

Lee tried to sell his house for many years, from around 1898
onwards.
He was still trying on March 9, 1903, eager to move to Brooklyn
