5/18/1871 DEATH OF THE OLDEST EDITOR IN THE UNITED
STATES.- John SAXTON, editor of the Canton Repository,
Canton, Stark county, Ohio, died on Saturday last at the
age of eighty-one. Mr. Saxton was the oldest editor in the
United States, was the veteran of the American press, and
was, perhaps, one of the best and purest men connected
with the fraternity. He commenced the publication of the
Stark County Repository about the year 1814, and published
it consecutively, for fifty-seven years. During all this period
he worked at the case, as well as wrote editorials and
selected matter for his paper. He had been in easy
circumstances for many years, but from sheer force of
habit continued to set type and do other labor on the paper
almost to the day of his death. He was a man of exceedingly
temperate habits, and enjoyed such excellent health that
he hardly knew what it was to be sick.

To a life of unceasing industry she added much hospitality,

to new settlements. She was buried at North Kortright

L. COBURN, Esq., aged 50 years. To a naturally amiable
and affectionate disposition, Mrs. Coburn added the
crowning grace of human character, an intelligent Christian
faith. From childhood she had known the scriptures, and
endeavored to walk in their counsel, her whole life was a
lucid comment on the reality of the religion she professed.
Faith and hope pledged to her heart a reunion with little
Charlie, (an only son deceased a few years since), now
doubtless with her a glorious reality. An ardent friend and
exemplary Christian, a devoted wife, a faithful mother has
gone; her record is in Heaven; her memory will live in the
hearts of all who knew her. A lonely companion and
sorrowing daughter alone remain of the once happy, now
broken circle. May it be reunited. (Poem included with
notice.)
