Meet an Ohio Northern University’s centenarian. John O. Costine, a 1950 ONU Law graduate, turns 100 on October 16 and holds the record for being the longest continuously-practicing attorney in the state of Ohio.

In the small town of St. Clairsville, Ohio, Mr. Costine is a familiar figure, often seen walking to the courthouse in his fedora to deliver papers. A community icon, he’s known for his quiet servitude and incredible work ethic.

“My tenure is 71 years in the legal profession, the same length of time that Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in England,” he said.

Mr. Costine doesn’t have a secret to longevity. “I just keep on going, keep on breathing, and that seems to be the technique that works.” ▶︎
