Soon after, Madison and Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson worked to get Freneau to move to Philadelphia in order to edit a partisan newspaper that would counter the Federalist newspaper The Gazette of the United States. He died at 80 years of age, frozen to death while returning to his home, and was buried in what became the Philip Morin Freneau Cemetery on Poet's Drive in Matawan, New Jersey. Freneau, New Jersey, an unincorporated community within Matawan, was named in his honor.[8] Wikipedia articles with LCCN identifiers ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9865.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9865.txt
