Removing the Remains of Centenarians
The remains of the FANNING family of Riverhead, buried some one hundred and
fifty years ago, have been reinterred in the village cemetery. The stone
giving the original history of the family is placed over the remains of
CAPTAIN FANNING who immigrated from Connecticut to Riverhead, and died in
1776. The grave of CATHERINE FANNING disclosed no trace of remains or
coffin, the only remaining being her teeth, which were in good state of
preservation. Her hair was also as beautiful as when she was alive.
