His early life was spent on various plantations with which his father was connected, and he was educated at the old Fort street school, Punahou, St. Louis College and the California College in Fruitville, Calif. Mr. Osborne’s first position was with the former firm of C. E. Williams & Co., furniture dealers, and the first undertaking establishment in Honolulu. This concern was acquired in 1900 by the son of C. E. Williams, Henry H.

Mr. Osborne is an Elk, Knight of Pythias, Old Fellow, and a member of the Commercial and Honolulu Golf clubs, Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix Lodge and St. Louis Alumni.
