There was universal sorrow on the streets and in the homes of Rochester Monday morning when it was known that Mrs. Isaac Onstott had suddenly died in child birth. The deceased, Hattie Osborn, came to Rochester from Rensselaer a bride scarcely a year ago but she made friends rapidly and was universally esteemed as an admirable Christian lady. The obituary read at her funeral said: When she was but three years old her father died, and death called her mother a year later, she was left an orphan at the age of four, since which time she made her home with her brother, John Osborn, and her sister, Mrs. Ella Cole, until Oct 20, 1892, when she was united in wedlock with Isaac Onstott. At the age of fifteen she was converted and united with the St. John's M.E. church, of New Albany. She remained a faithful member, in full fellowship with that church until Feb 20, 1893, when she, with her husband, united with this, the First Baptist church. As mourners, there are six sisters and two brothers, together with a very large circle of friends here and at other places where she has lived. The funeral service was held at the First Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon when her popularity and the universal sorrow for her untimely death was attested by a turn out of an unusually large concourse of people.
