OSBORNE William Monroe Osborne, one of the old pioneers of Wisconsin, passed away at Milton Junction, Wis., October 2, 1913, aged ninety-one years, six months and twenty-two days.
He was born in Attica, N. Y., March 10, 1822, and was one of twelve children in the family of Chauney and Polly Skinner Osborne. All but one of these six sons and six daughters lived to maturity. One son died in the war. Most of the children lived to advanced years. The father lived to the age of seventy-nine and the mother to ninety-three. It was a strong and virile stock.
William was married to Miss Cynthia Hugoboom, May 24, 1846. Since 1862 they lived in Milton, Wis. On February 10, 1865, he enlisted in the Civil War and served as a drummer in the Forty-ninth Regiment until the close of
the war. He and his oldest son enlisted together, the son having previously been in the service for a short term.
To Mr. and Mrs. Osborne were born six children, five of whom survive him. There are ten grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. When about twenty-one years of age Mr. Osborne was converted and joined the Free Will Baptist church of Oonomowoc. While living in Berlin, by conversations with Datus Lewis (father of Rev A. H. Lewis), he was led to study the Sabbath question. He and his wife started to read the Bible through to satisfy
themselves. At personal sacrifice he began the observance of the Seventh-day as the Sabbath.
They both remained loyal to it the remainder of their lives. He was a stanch believer in God and gave as the reason why he had lived to such an advanced age, "The Lord did not see fit to take me." Although not a church member in recent years, his heart and interest were with the Milton Seventh Day Baptist Church, where his wife was a member. For the past three years, on the roll of those who were mentioned as over eighty at the celebration of
Old Folks' day, Mr. Osborne's name has led the list. The deepest impression of all his life was made when his mother, dying asked him to meet her in heaven. His eyes filled with tears as he said, "I want to live so that I
can."
Services were conducted October 6 by Pastor L. C. Randolph, assisted by Pastor HN. Jordan and Pastor Milar of the M. E. church.
