of Hon. Jesse

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

among the

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

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
