The Belding News, Thursday, August 17, 1905

Last week we chronicled the sad and untimely death of Aaron Osborn, one of our 
well now citizens and this week we tell of the sad obsequies held at his late 
home on Sunday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, Rev. H. N. Spear, officiating. 

Aaron Osborn was born in Otisco township, 46 years ago, and has lived in this 
section of the country all of his life.  He was a genial, whole-souled and 
good-natured fellow and made friends where ever he went.  Some years ago, he 
became a member of the Smyrna tent, No. 728, K.O.T.M.M. and when the sudden 
and tragic death came to him, he was commander of the tent.  He carried a 
policy of$1,000 in the order, for the protection of his wife and little 
daughter, who will miss his kind affection and loving care.

The funeral was one of the largest ever held here and 67 teams followed the 
remains to their last resting place.  Six of his Maccabee brothers acted as 
pall bearers, and several of the Maccabee ladies furnished music for the 
occasion.  The remains were laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery, and thus, 
closed one of the saddest incidents that the News has ever been called upon to 
chronicle.
