On Aug. 31, 1940, Mary and Edwin Saxton Jr. were married in Dansville. Together they have celebrated more than 46 years of marriage. For several years, Mary was a cook at Cohocton School, however most of her work came at home. As the wife of a farmer, she was a homemaker that held many jobs in that one. She took great pride in her home as evidenced by how meticulous she was. Mary has been a member of the Zion Lutheran Church for many, many years and also enjoyed time in the Cohocton Republicans Club, the Ladies Aid, the Zion Loyal Group, and as a member of the Coachmen's Camper Club.
