OSBORNE, Lovina A. Oct 4, 1830 - Apr 13, 1906; wife of David Henry; dau of William BUSHNELL

From Victor Herald 20 April 1906

Mrs. Lavinia A. Bushnell Osborne, widow of D. Henry Osborne, died at her home on Maple avenue in this village, at a late hour last Friday evening, at the age of seventy-six years. The death of Mrs. Osborne removes from this place one of its oldest native residents, she having been born and lived for nearly all of her many years on the site of the house in which she died. Mrs. Osborne was the daughter of William Bushnell, a pioneer settler of this section, who was one of Victor's most prominent citizens in his day. He was widely known for many years as an extensive shipper of farm products, making Bushnell's Basin on the canal the shipping point, that place deriving its name from him.

Mr. and Mrs. Osborne were married in 1847 and in 1855-56 he erected the beautiful home on Maple avenue from which he passed away a little more than a year ago. For many years, Mrs. Osborne had been an invalid, not being able to enter into the busy activities of life, but during that time was much interested in local events and especially in the work of the First Presbyterian Church, of which she had been a member for sixty-three years. She was a woman much loved in the community because of her kindness of heart and the broad charity she manifested to all about her. Since the death of Mr. Osborne, she had steadily failed in health. Two daughters and a son survive, Miss Cora B. Osborne of Victor; Mrs. (Carrie) Mark T. Powell of Canandaigua; and William B. Osborne of this village. Funeral services were held from the family home Monday afternoon, Rev. Frank W. Hill, pastor of the Presbyterian church, officiating. Interment was made in Boughton Hill Cemetery.
