Only two sections in the old cemetery are left to show the occupants of this city of the dead which was used until the cemetery was located nearer town, adjoining the present grammar school. One is a marble monument erected to the memory of C. Ann Duckwell [sic], born in 1838 and died in 1859. The monument is a modern one evidently built less than 20 years ago. It stands out in a field with no curbing or fence around it. Will Ferrel says the Duckwell family lived in Snelling in the early days. They came from Tuolumne county, over beyond Groveland where there is an eminence named Duckwell Mountain. [Merced Sun Star (California), Thurs., 18 Apr 1939, "Rad's Ramblings" (Corwin Radcliffe)]
