Veteran Ohio Soldier-Artist Named Oldest US Coroner
Captain Edward Lepper of Beneca county Ohio is described as potentially the oldest coroner in the United States by length of service. Elected in 1880 as a joke, Lepper has served for 31 years, repeatedly renominated and reelected without campaigning, and is now 75. He notes he has sat on about 500 inquests, with cases ranging from a famous murder at Fostoria to humorous emergencies, all while maintaining a military bearing.
