Ansel McCall died in 1816, at the Mills, a mile east of the present village at Corning. He was the owner of the mills property, and one of the most prominent citizens of the Chemung Valley.
Eight years previous his first wife died. A day after his own death, James, a four years old son of the second wife died. All were buried in the graveyard west of the mills, the child being in the same grave with its father, where a space was made for the little coffin.
Recently the second wife of Mr. McCall died at Bath, and was buried in Hope Cemetery, below Corning, where her son Ansel J. McCall, Esq., of Bath , purchased a lot, so that the remains of those above mentioned could be removed there. On Saturday they were removed. There were traces of the coffins, and a large portion of the upper board of one coffin. The bones were of course, detached but in position, and comparatively perfect John M. Patterson, an old resident of Erwin, now residing at Painted Post, was present (with Mr. McCall, Gen. F. E. Erwin, and Samuel S. Erwin.) and he recollected the burial of Ansel McCall and his son James, and described the position of their coffins.
