Oakland Independent (NE); Fri., 18 Nov 1927; p3
"Lookin Backwards"
Geo. Osborn was a native of New York state, his birthplace being Osgewatchie, St. Lawrence county. He moved with his parents to Wisconsin in 1837. He was educated in the common schools there and took one year's course at Bedford Institute, near Battle Creek, Mich. He remained in Michigan until after casting his first vote for John C. Fremont, the first republican nominee for president, and came to this state in the fall of 1856. Since then he had been a resident of Nebraska excepting one winter spent in Colorado, near Denver. In the fall of 1862 he enlisted in the Second Nebraska Volunteer cavalry and in a skirmish with the Sioux Indians on what was then the Pawnee reservation he was severely wounded, six arrows entering his body and one of them passing through his left lund. The arrows were extracted by a Pawnee Indian. Mr. Osborn, however, did not recover health and three years later consulted a doctor in Omaha, who by a dangerous operation extracted one arrow point from his lung. In 1868, when his health was partly restored, Mr. Osborn and wife moved to a farm two miles south of this city, where they resided for twenty-two years.
During that time he served as county commissioner for four years and held a number of other minor offices.
Mr. Osborn's health being impaired, moved with his wife to Oakland in 1891. Mrs. Osborn died here in 1906. She was an educated Omaha Indian and highly respected.
Mr. Osborn died in 1908.
