   CHARLES M. OSMOND farmer, P.O. Langhorne, was born in 
Middletown township, June 21, 1831, and is a son of Samuel 
and Hester (Suplee) Osmond, natives of Pennsylvania, and of 
English descent.  The family were members of the Society of 
Friends, and usually followed farming.  Samuel Osmond was a 
farmer, and had a family of five children, of whom Charles 
M. was the youngest.  He was reared on the farm in Bucks 
county, attending the public school in Philadelphia until he 
was bound out.  He then went on a farm and attended the 
Friends' school, remaining on the farm until he reached his 
majority.  After this he farmed in Bensalem for sixteen 
years.  In 1852 he married Lydia Ann, daughter of Mordecai 
and Martha (Walton) Carter.  She was a native of 
Philadelphia county and of English descent.  This union has 
been blessed with six children:  Emretta, wife of Jonathan 
Clayton; Morris E. (deceased), Anna Rebecca, Frank C., 
Martha E. and James Ross. They all attend the Friends' 
meeting.  Mr. Osmond is a democrat.
