The Walnut Valley Times 
September 16, 1904 

Died at Wichita September 18, Mrs. Virgil A. Osburn, aged about 33 years. 

And thus has come to pass the worst fears of family and friends; and the 
excellent woman, the loving wife and mother and the real Christian has passed 
the noiseless door we call death and entered upon a new existence, without 
pains, or sorrows, or griefs, or regrets; unending calm and peace.

Mrs. Osburn’s health has been bad and failing for several months. Her husband 
and parents and relatives hoped in vain and finally decided that the surgeon’s 
knife only could save. She died in the hospital after the removal of a great 
tumor.

Mrs. Osburn was born near Jan’sville, Wisconsin. Her family came to Kansas in 
1880, to Augusta in 1882 where she was married in 1889. To that union was born 
seven children the eldest about 14 years of age and one an infant. These 
children her husband, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Safford, a brother 
Eugene, and sister Emma are left waiting only a little longer when all will be 
reunited in that happier land. Mrs. Osburn was a member of the Christian church.

The funeral at 3 p.m. today, September 19 at the family home was very largely 
attended. Rev. S. W. Brown, Mrs. Osburn’s pastor, officiated and her body was 
laid away in Belle Vista.

The flowers and floral pieces in unusual profusion testified the regret in 
which she was held and attested the sympathy felt for those she loved and left 
here.
