Brother Osborne joined the Baptist church in 1859, near Ottumwa, Iowa, and has been a faithful member ever since. He moved to Ringgold county in 1865, and located in Clinton township, where he has since resided. He took an active part in things calculated to build up the morality of his community, and was free to denounce immorality. As a politician he was active, yet careful. He was an uncompromising Republican and a strong prohibitionist. He wielded an influence for good that will be sadly missed in his neighborhood. He was taken sick February 13th, and died the 18th, and was buried the 20th by the Odd Fellow Fraternity, of which he was a member. Thus has passed away a useful, benevolent, charitable man. He has gone from labor to reward.
