Mahulda Dunaway Osborne was born near Maysville, Kentucky, in Lewis county and died at the St. Bernard's hospital, Council Bluffs, Iowa. She was the youngest of three daughters born to George and Elvira Tully Dunaway. Her mother died in 1885. Mahulda is survived by her father, George Dunaway, of Mt. Sterling, Kentucky; two sisters, Mrs. Harry Leech of Parkersburg, West Virginia and Mrs. R Garland Ruark of Portsmouth; and her husband, Claude Osborne, of near Cottageville, Kentucky. Claude and Mahulda were married in Maysville, Kentucky, on February 7, 1903.
Mrs. Osborn had been a sufferer all her life from stomach trouble, which finally caused inflammation of the nerves and resulted in her death. She was attended by Dr. F.S. Seybert, a specialist in nerve diseases, who with the attendants at the hospital, did everything in their power to bring about her recovery, but to no avail, and on Thursday evening, August 7, at about 8 o'clock, she spoke to the sister and nurse, saying with a smile and grasping the sister's hand, "I have always heard that the sisters were very kind to sick people and you have been very kind to me." Soon after she passed into unconsciousness and later passed away. Mrs. John C. Schefflin of Omaha, Nebraska, with whom she made her home, was with her when she died.
Mrs. Osborne was a member of the Christian church and had been since a small child. She was a loyal friend, a pure-minded woman and one who endeavored in every way to lead a good life and to prepare herself for old age, death or whatever might be her lot in life. God's mysteries are not unfolded to us here, and it is hard to understand why she was called so early in youth. Perhaps she was taken to allure her loved ones on to the golden plains of Paradise, where she now awaits their coming and again, perhaps she went to fill a long regret, that of seeing her mother, who like the babe she left, died in youth's rosy morning, leaving Mrs. Osborne an infant.
The funeral was held at the home of her sister, Mrs. R.G. Ruark, of Eighth street, and burial in Greenlawn cemetery. The Rev. J. W. Dillon preached her funeral sermon and Miss Staiger furnished the music.
