WM. OSBORN OF WANATAH DIES
Hardware Dealer and Former Livestock Raiser Is Heart Attack Victim.
William N. Osborn, age 72 years, well known in La Porte and Porter counties, died suddenly this morning at his home in Wanatah. Death is believed to have been due to a heart attack.
The decedent was born on a farm three and a half miles northwest of Wanatah, on March 16, 1867, the son of John Osborn and Jane (McIntyre) Osborn.
His early life was spent in farming in the Wanatah vicinity. For many years he was a raiser of fancy Holstein cattle and Poland China hogs, and held many big auctions of livestock.
In 1913 he moved to Wanatah, and three years later disposed of his farming interests. In 1924 he embarked in the hardware business in Wanatah, and was engaged in this business at the time of his death.
He was active in the work of the Wanatah Christian church, having been baptized into the church on Jan. 6, 1891.
On March 20, 1889, he was united in marriage to Cora A. Goodwin, of near Wanatah. Last March the couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
Surviving besides the widow are two sons, Leland, of Chicago, and Ross, of Syracuse, Ind., one daughter, Mrs. Ethel Fryar, of Wanatah; two brothers, Walter, of Bakersfield, Calif., and Freemont, of Leavenworth, Wash., and one sister, Mrs. Eliza Bohland, of Lindsey, Calif.
Memorial services will be held Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at the home and at 2 p.m. at the Wanatah Christian church, conducted by Rev. Thomas, of Valparaiso. Burial will be in Westville cemetery, with H. A. Boehlke of Wanatah, in charge.
