CHARLES BATEMAN SAXBY.
Among the influential, enterprising and progressive young
business men of Wood County may be mentioned our subject, who
is the able editor of the Wood County Herald.
To the newspapers of our country is due much of the
credit of the advancement of its civilization and the growth
of its industries, and in the development of Wood County the
Herald, published at Weston, has been no unimportant
factor.
Our subject, who is a native of Wood County, was born
at West Mill Grove, February 8, 1865. His parents were
B. H. and Martha H. (Musser) Saxby, born in England and
the United States, respectively. The father was born in
the town of Normington in 1826, and emigrated to this country
in the year 1855. The mother's birth occurred in
Deerfield, Portage County, Ohio, in 1838.
Charles B. Saxby received his elementary
instruction in the graded schools of West Mill Grove,
completing his education in the high school of the same place.
September 29, 1884, he moved to Weston, taking a position with
the paper of which he is now editor. He remained in this
capacity until January 1, 1887, when he entered the employ of
the Wood County Gazette at Bowling Green, Ohio.
March 3, 1889, he severed his connection with that paper, and
three days later was married to Miss Nettie L. Dull,
daughter of a Weston Merchant. After his marriage Mr.
Saxby entered his father-in-law's store, but remained only
about a month however, then returning to the newspaper
business and becoming identified with the consolidated
Sentinel-Gazette.
August 1, 1891, our subject, in partnership with J.
D. Conklin, bought the Wood County Herald, and sine
that date the former has been editor and manager of the same.
He has served his township in the capacity of Clerk for four
years, and has ever been found faithful to the trust reposed
in him. As an editor he has ever endeavored to forward
the interests of his town and county and to develop their
resources. Socially he is a member of Weston Lodge No.
681, I. O. O. F., in which he is serving as Vice-Grand, and is
also a member of the Daughters of Rebeckah, and Anthony Wayne
Lodge No. 140, K. O. T. M. In 1893 he was elected Great
Sentinel of the Great Camp of the state of Ohio, and in 1894
was re-elected.
To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Saxby has been born
a family of two children: Helen Kathryn, who was born
November 17, 1890, and John Bateman, whose birth
occurred January 26, 1894, and who died May 27, of the same
year. Mr. Saxby, his wife and daughter occupy a
very pleasant residence on the corner of Locust, and Clark
Streets, which our subject owns, and here they welcome their
many friends.
