Osborn It becomes our painful duty to record the death of Mr. George W. Osborn of this city, which occured at his home, at 8:30 o'clock Sunday morning. The funeral will be held at the residence this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and all friends are invited to be present. Mr. Osborn was born in Bloomfield, Trumbull county, Ohio in 1836, his age at death being forty-three years. In 1862 he married Miss Belle Woods at Galesburg, Ill. He was in the Union army one year and a half, and came to Kansas in 1869. He lived three years in Garnett, doing a livery buisness. From Garnett he came to Lawrence, where he has since resided. He is the first of nine brothers and sisters to pass from earth. Mr. Osborn has long been known in the community as a man of strict probity in his business relations. His word was always as good as his bond. He was very unassuming in his manner, but he knew how to push business without making any fuss about it. He was prosperous in his calling, because he could always be relied upon, was always at his office, was always obliging, and because he gave his whole thought and his personal presence to the oversight of his own affairs. He always had an open hand for the unfortunate, and a kindly welcome for his friends. He was not at all demonstrative in the expression of his opinions, but his sound judgement was often sought and freely given in matters pertaining to his business. In the relation of a husband Mr. Osborn was not less a man than in all other relations of life. He was ever mindful of his home duties and ties. He had a pleasant home, and he appreciated it. He played no small part in his home. He made it cheerful by his presence, and happy by his strong affection. To the widow so deeply bereft. the sympathy of the whole community goes out. May she have such consolation as she needs in her affliction, and feel that no want which tenderness of word and deed can bestow will be witheld in her present dark days.
