  	Notes by Esther (Fennell) McCall on the death of Robert McDowell McCall. Robert McDowell McCall, b. 1843, d. 1899, father of John B. McCall, was a farmer in Clinton Twp. Butler Co., Pa. He always liked fast horses and was driving a young skittish team in the hay field. Suddenly the team frightened and ran away with Robert hanging to the lines. He headed them for the open barn doors where they ran in to the barn floor and stopped. But Robert didn't duck fast enough, striking his head on the low girder above the doors, knocking him off the wagon where he lay unconcious for some time. When he recovered he suffered from severe headache, earache, and running ears. Finally Dr. Stepp, a country doctor dried up the discharge and Robert died in agony. His oldest son, Elmer, swore he would kill the Doctor.
  Burial	Clinton United Presbyterian Cemetery, Clinton TWP, Butler County, Pennsylvania, USA   [9]
  Notes	Elizabeth "Lib" Davis was a daughter of Joseph Davis and Elizabeth "Eliza" Belle Hays Davis and a granddaughter of John Davis and Elizabeth Baxter Davis. The Davis family purchased their Butler County homesite (Middlesex Township) on April 2, 1812. Elizabeth's father Joseph purchased the shares of the farm from his brothers and sisters after the death of John Davis who died intestate.

Hutchinson in Clinton U.P. Church. Robert McDowell McCall and Elizabeth Davis McCall are buried in the Clinton U.P. Church Cemetery, Saxonburg, Pennsylvania.

Robert was riding in a farm wagon driving a team of horses. The horses shied from something and became uncontrollable. The runaway horses headed for the barn. Robert was standing in the wagon trying to pull them in with all his strength. The horses entered the barn on the run. Robert hit his head on the low barn opening as they entered. He was knocked unconscious and laid for three days in a coma. They said that blood seeped from his ears, the concussion was so severe. He never regained consciousness and died on the third day.
