Sarah & Michael Saxe are buried here in the Kent Corners graveyard of Suffield, Ohio. William Saxe & Margaret (cole) are all listed one tall monument headstone, seen in below pictures.
Amos Saxe listed below, whom I found in a book bio, is their son:
AMOS H. SAXE, farmer, P. O. Mogadore, Summit County, born December 2, 1829, in Springfield, Summit Co., Ohio,son of Michael and Sarah Saxe, natives of Bucks County, Penn., who lived a few years in Lancaster County, thence moved to Summit County, Ohio, in 1820, where they remained about nine years, and finally settled in Suffield Township, Portage Co., Ohio. This was then an entirely new country, and they had to contend with various difficulties in the wilderness. Game of all kinds was plentiful, and many were the adventures which these settlers experienced in their struggle for existence. Only a small place was cleared for a house, which was 16x16, the floor of which was made of split-logs, a blanket doing service for a door, and in this they managed to exist for several years, the family numbering nine when the house was first occupied. They were faithful members of the Disciples Church and regular attendants at church, having to walk two miles (oxen only being then employed). Michael Saxe was a tailor by trade, therefore the management of the farm fell upon the eldest son (Amos H.), when but a boy. Mrs. Saxe was a kind and devoted mother; a peacemaker in her family of children, always ready to listen to their troubles and furnish some means of relief. She died January 16, 1868. Mr. Saxe died December 10, 1882, at the home of his son Amos H., aged eighty-two years. Of their family of twelve children, six are now living in this county, two in Suffield Township: Amos H. and John H. Amelia (Mrs. Harter), Jeremiah and Elizabeth are residents of Brimfield Township, and Jennie (Mrs. Shirtleff), of Kent. Our subject was married May 11, 1865, to Amanda Harter, and they have the following children: Florence, Grace and Ray. Mrs. Saxe is a member of the Disciples Church. By industry they have acquired a fine farm of 165 acres of well-improved land. Mr. Saxe is a life-long Democrat; has served his township six years as Trustee and as School Director fifteen years.
