Author: Past and Present of Will County, IL; 1907

Charles S. Osburn is one of the leading representatives of agricultural 
interests in this part of the state. He was born in Florence township, October 
18, 1867, and is a son of Nial N. and Sarah E. (Steadman) Osburn, who are 
mentioned elsewhere in this volume. He acquired his education in the public 
schools of Wilmington and has devoted his entire life to general farming and 
stock-raising interests. He was superintendent of the stock-raising department 
of the father's business from 1892 until 1902, and since that time has 
advanced his individual business affairs, making extensive improvements upon 
his farm, comprising twelve hundred acres. The land is richly cultivated and 
brings forth large and abundant harvests and the best methods of farming, 
according to modern scientific ideas, have been introduced and the value 
proven upon his place. On the 12th of October, 1892, Mr. Osburn was united in 
marriage to Miss Emma Bertha Rathke, the wedding being celebrated at her 
father's home in Florence township. She was born in that township, July 2, 
1874, and is a daughter of Henry and Katherine (Doering) Rathke, both of whom 
are now deceased.
