I have never seen this account, either. So I did some searching and found the following, which you may find interesting, or not.
Part 1 included a link to Part 2, which can be found here:

Part 2 is a discussion of the various sources for the tradition of the Assumption in church history.
I did a search and found the document that is attributed to St. Melito in a Parish Bulletin, which can be found here:

None of this is proof of the Assumption, nothing for certain is known. The New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia states that the knowledge we do have has been derived from Apostolic Tradition. Here is a link to that document:
