From Willard Call - Oct 2, 2013
I found this in Anson’s journal. I have copied most of what it says about Josiah. It does not mention any daughter by the name of “Melvina”. Only one son is mentioned but not by name. Note that one of Josiah’s wives was later married to Anson for time only. There must have been a close connection with both families. I know this info is not all you wanted. I don't have more info at this time. Best Regards. Willard Call

The Life and Record of Anson Call
Commenced in 1839
I was born in the year 1810, May 13th, State of Vermont, Franklin County, Town Fletcher, son of Cyril and Sally Tiffany Call. Cyril was the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of John. Cyril born Woodstock, Windsor Co., Vermont, June 29, 1785. Joseph was born Oxford, Worcester Co., Mass., 1745. My mother was the daughter of Christopher Tiffany who emigrated from Germany.
My parents were born in the State of Vermont. My father removed to the State of Ohio when I was seven years of age, Geauga County. I was sent to school in early life, but after removing to Ohio there were but little opportunities for schools owing to the newness of the country. My father’s family including myself suffered much from sickness. We came to reduced circumstances in consequence. My father raised a large family of children.
The eldest was Harvey, Anson, Salmon, died at 1 ½ year old, Samantha, Fanny, Lucina, Josiah, Mary, Sonora Rosaline, Sarah, Mallissa, Omer, Homer.
I recieved a visit from my brother Josiah from Fillmore the first of October.
He was murdered by the Indians near Chicking Crick on his return.
I coppy from the Nuse:
Two men found murdered, supposed to be by Indians. A report has reached here wich we think is reliable, that on friday last, the 15th inst, the remainds of Josiah Call and Samuel Brown, both of Fillmore City, were found in a state of decompsition near Chicken Creek bridge about 20 miles south of Nephi. They had recieved several bullet shots in their bodes. Their throats were cut in a frightful maner, were rudely scalped, and robed of part of their clothing. The cause is unknown, and is the more singular as the persons murdered were known favorably to the Indians in that vicinity for their kindness to them. It is suposed to have been comitted on the 7th instant.
The late Indian massacere. Fillmore City, October 18th, 1858, Editor: Deseret Newse. Thinking you would like to hear the facts concerning the massacre of brother Josiah Call and Samuel Brown betwene Salt Creek and Fillmore, I take the liberty to write them to you as they appeard in evidence before the coroner inquest held over the bodies yesterday. They left Saltcreek on Tuesday, 5th ult, with two days provisions, saying they were going down Chicking Creek to see if a drove of cattle could be taken that that way in to this vally. Some brethren came in from Salt Creek the Saturday folowling hearing that brs Call and Brown had not arived, and told what they heard at Salt Creek.
On Monday four men started in search and found by their horses tracks that they had taken down the north side of Chicken Creek, alsow found where they got off and led their horses to water which satisfide them that they had gone that way. It was some what dificult tracking them, as to all appearance, a large party of Indians close by.
On Friday last, some fifteen started again to renew their search. They met br Shepard at Cedar Springs who had just come in from the north. He told them that he saw a dead body about two miles south of Chicken Creek. Acordingly they proceeded forthwith to the place and found both the bodies within about two hundred yards of each other.
Br Brown was shot through the hart, scalped, and his throat cut. The birds had eaton the flesh from br Calls bones with the exception of his legs below knee and his left arm, but it was evident he had been shot three times, once through the right brest, the ball lodging in the back bone, once through the left ancle, and once through the head, the ball entering the back part of the skull near the seam and coming out the left side of the nose. It is supposed his throat was also cut as the blood had run from where his neck lay, and his right arm was entirely gone and was not found.
They were both striped of atl their clothing exept their under clothes, shoes, and stockings. The remains were this day intered in the cemetery of this place, the ocasion being one of the most solomn I ever witnessed. This is the first instance of the kind that has happened to any citizens of this place since its settlement.
Report says some Indians went to San Peet and they had killed two white men down the Sevier, and that they fought like bars and kild one Indian, that they (the Indians) had to run into the kanyon, but they got more help and followed and killed them them wish may be true, as they had evidently bin down the creek, and here being found on the road home, they would not have come back on to the road again if they had not been molested, or mistrusted some danger.
Yours truly,
T.R. King
