Mr. McClallen, who died at age 69, was the husband of Clarinda Miller, sister of Judge Elijah Miller, father-in-law of celebrated American statesman William H. Seward. His widow survived him by two years, and was buried here in the Miller-Seward Family plot after her death in 1862.

From the New York Times: "Hugh McClallen, a prominent citizen of Auburn, died in that city on Friday, in the 71st year of his ago. Since 1818 -- for nearly half a century -- he has been engaged in the manufacture of firearms in Auburn."
