   THOMAS B. OSBURN, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Rush County, Ind.,
September 28, 1839, and is a son of Joseph and Sarah (Burton) Osburn; Joseph
Osburn located in Rush County at an early day, and there entered land; he
cleared from the forest a home, upon which he resided until 1881, when he sold
the same and located near New Brunswick, Boone Co., Ind., where he is now
living; he commenced life a poor boy but by economy and industry, he accumulated
300 acres in Rush County, 300 in Tipton County, and eighty acres in Madison
County; he gave a farm to each of his children, and still has a good home; he is
now seventy-four years of age, and enjoys good health; he is a Democrat in
politics, and a faithful worker in the Baptist Church. Our subject received a
limited education in the common schools, and assisted his father on the farm
until he was twenty-two years of age, when he came to Tipton County and engaged
in improving his forest land. On August 28, 1862, he was married to Miss Edith
Plummer, born in this township, March 12, 1846, daughter of Ira Plummer, one of
the first settlers. To this union were born five children-Zimri, Joseph,
Elizabeth, Jerard Guy and John H. By hard labor and much good management, Mr.
Osburn has now a good farm of 200 acres, 110 of which are improved; he is a
liberal supporter of every public improvement, and a very earnest Democrat. Both
himself and wife are members of the Christian Church.
