Does anyone know where he might be buried, or was he buried in the Tennessee Rolling Mill Cemetery that has been largely destroyed?

William Corns, a native of England, departed this life Aug. 28th at the Tennessee Rolling Works, aged 43 years. He came to the United States some 20 years since; settled in Pittsburg, where he professed religion 12 years ago and joined the M. E. Church. He came o this place six years since, where he served as a leader most faithfully and usefully. In him the community has lost one of its best citizens; his family a good husband and parent; the Sons of Temperance a worthy member; and the church an honest, consistent, and devoted Christian. He died as he lived, saying his confidence in Christ was unshaken, and blessing the name of the Lord. There is hope in his death.
Sept. 7, 1853. R. FISK.
