Death of Hon. Jesse Edgington
We announce to-day, the death of Hon. Jesse Edgington, who departed this life,
at his late residence, Holiday's Cove, W. Virginia, last night, Wednesday,
August 1st, 1866, in the 87th year of his age, "full of honors and ripe in years."
Mr. Edgington was one of the first men of his time. He was in the prime of life
a man of no ordinary ability, and leaves a worthy name. His father was the first
settler who erected a cabin on the eastern border of the state of Ohio, and he,
Jesse Edgington, Esq., was the oldest lawyer at his death, and we believe among
the first who practised at the Steubenville bar. He was for many years
prosecuting attorney of Brooke county, Va., was representative four years
in the Senate of that State, and was for many years a member of the Governor's
Select Council. He was the associate of Henry CLAY, of Philip DODDRIDGE,
Charles HAMMOND, Judges McLEAN, WRIGHT, GOODNOW, the COLLIERS, & c. He was a
noble old man, a gentleman in the strictest sense of the word, and dies with an
untarnished reputation, honored and respected by all who knew him.
His
funeral will take place from his late residence, Holiday's Cove, to-morrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The body is to be deposited in the Steubenville Cemetery.
The friends and the public are respectfully invited to attend.
