File:John Merwin Oldrin obituary in the New York Times on July 26, 1903.png

Sea Cliff, Long Island; July 21, 1903. News was received here of the death in New York early this morning of John Merwin Oldrin, one of Sea Cliff's original settlers. Mr. Oldrin went to the city for treatment last fall. He was expected home a month ago, but his condition changed and he died without returning home. Mr. Oldrin was a native born Long Islander and one of the best-known men here. He was born at Westhampton. For a long term of years he resided at Hempstead, assisting while Town Clerk of Hempstead in the transfer of the Garden City estate to A. T. Stewart. After removing to Sea Cliff he was at different times Principal of the school here, member of the School Board, and President of the Inclined Cable Railroad Company. He was best known, however, as editor and proprietor of The Sea Cliff News, a business which he only relinquished when ill-health made it necessary. He leaves a wife and a grown family. His body will be brought home for burial."
