St Joseph [MI] Herald May 2, 1868
On Saturday the 25th ult. of congestive chills, Mrs. Fanny Osborn, aged about 
60 years.

On Sunday the 26th ult. of Lung complaint, Mr. Enoch Osborn, consort to the 
above. Aged 61 years.

There is something peculiarly touching in this dispensation of Providence. For 
nearly half a century this venerable couple had walked together sharing the 
blessings of life, and expectants of that blessed immortality which awaits the 
faithful. Mr. Osborn had been confined to his bed about one week, when worn 
out with care and anxiety, the chill band? of disease laid its hand upon the 
partner of his life, and in two or three days from the time the disease set 
in, she was laid in the cold embrace of death. Mr. Osborn survived her just 30 
hours. Their funerals were held together on Monday last in the Church at 
Benton Harbor, which had just been finished by Mr. Osborn's own hands. The 
large concourse of citizens in attendance upon the funeral, was but a slight 
attestation of respect in which this venerable couple were held.
