  Lewis Osborn, Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Hamlin county,
Massachusetts, September 4, 1824. When about sixteen years of age, he moved to
Suffield, Hartford county, Connecticut, in which place he was educated. He
afterwards resided for four years in Cedar (Tipton) and Jones counties, Iowa,
when he started across the plains for California with teams and arrived in 1850
at Nevada City, where he stopped and commenced mining on Deer creek. He left the
mining districts in the Fall of 1853, and came to his present farm, where he now
resides and owns one hundred and eighty-five acres.
