OSBORN, Mrs Amanda Osborn was born in Williamstown, Vt., and died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs David Parsons, Detroit, Mich., Monday night, Jan 16,1888, aged eighty-four years, one month and twenty-six days.
She removed to North Bloomfield, Ohio, when only twelve years of age, and at the age of eighteen married Leonard Osborn and became the mother of a large and highly respectable family of children, consisring of Dr R.H. Osborn of Calumet; Mrs David Parsons and Aaron S. Osborn, of Detroit. Thomas H. Osborn and Leonard S. Osborn, of Bloomington, Wis; Charles F. Osborn, Lawrence, Kansas; Mrs C.C. Merrill, Galesburg, Ill; and William H. Osborn of Kansas City, Missouri all living and well settled in life. Another son Geo. W.

The deceased had fourteen grand and nineteen great-grand children. Her husband died in North Bloomington, Ohio, in 1862. She afterwards lived with her daughter, Mrs David Parsons, well known in this city. She had been a member of the M.E. church over sixty years. She was a great reader of the Scriptures and of religious books and papers. Several years ago she became a subscriber for the Michigan Christian Advocate. A few days before she was taken away, she appropriated the money to be paid for the next years subcription, commencing Feb 14,1883. The ammount will be appropriated for that purpose, and that valuable religous paper will be read by those who were always the recipients of her love, her Christian teachings, and unalloyed and untarnished example.
( from the Michigan Chronicle Advocate)
There are readers of the Chronicle who will recognize the name of one of the first settlers of this county, who resided at North Bloomfield nearly fifty years. Although her relatives are somewhat scattered, her friends in North Bloomfield, Bristol, Southington, Kinsman, Gustavas, and adjoining towns are numerous.
Her remains rest in a beautiful location in Woodmere cemetery, Detroit, Michigan.

Notes for CORNELIA C. OSBORN:
This from a book called " Some Smiths, Osborns, and Allied Families of
New England and Ohio" by Estelle Clark Watson page 26:
Cornelia Converse Osborn, b 23 Oct 1833, d. Galesburg, Illinois Nov 1904;
m, Bloomfield, Ohio 27 Aug 1855 Charles Chauncey Merrill, b Amherst, Mass,
10 April 1833, d, Galesburg, Ill 1925.
Theirs was a double wedding with her brother, Aaron. They moved to
Greenbush, Ill., and later to Galesburg, where they lived for many years and
where both died, he at a very advanced age. They had no children. He was a
clothing merchant.
I have very pleasant memories of uncle Charlie and his constant good
humor. A small item of interest: A double-topped basket which had belonged
to his grandmother is now in one of the bedrooms of the Mayflower House in
Plymouth, Mass. (sent by us).

Death of George W. Osborn
It becomes our painful duty to record the death of Mr. George W. Osborn of this city, which occured at his home, at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning. The funeral will be held at the residence this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and all friends are invited to be present.
Mr. Osborn was born in Bloomfield, Trumbull county, Ohio in 1836, his age at death being forty-three years. In 1862 he married Miss Belle Woods at Galesburg, Ill. He was in the Union army one year and a half, and came to Kansas in 1869. He lived three years in Garnett, doing a livery buisness. From Garnett he came to Lawrence, where he has since resided. He is the first of nine brothers and sisters to pass from earth.
Mr. Osborn has long been known in the community as a man of strict probity in his business relations. His word was always as good as his bond. He was very unassuming in his manner, but he knew how to push business without making any fuss about it. He was prosperous in his calling, because he could always be relied upon, was always at his office, was always obliging, and because he gave his whole thought and his personal presence to the oversight of his own affairs. He always had an open hand for the unfortunate, and a kindly welcome for his friends. He was not at all demonstrative in the expression of his opinions, but his sound judgement was often sought and freely given in matters pertaining to his business.
In the relation of a husband Mr. Osborn was not less a man than in all other relations of life. He was ever mindful of his home duties and ties. He had a pleasant home, and he appreciated it. He played no small part in his home. He made it cheerful by his presence, and happy by his strong affection.
To the widow so deeply bereft. the sympathy of the whole community goes out. May she have such consolation as she needs in her affliction, and feel that no want which tenderness of word and deed can bestow will be witheld in her present dark days.
