SAXTON - DEATH OF AN OLD EDITOR - John Saxton, the pioneer editor of 
Ohio, died at Canton on Tuesday week, in the 79th year of his age. He 
was born in Huntingdon county, Pa. He commenced the publication of the 
Ohio Repository in 1815, and up to within a few days of his death had 
been actively engaged in his office. The more laborious duties of 
editing and publishing, however, have been performed for several years 
by his partners, one of whom is his son. Mr. Saxton has been a hale and 
hearty old man for more than a quarter of a century. He attended the 
last editorial convention at Akron, taking part in it's proceedings.
