      HIRAM W. OSLER. - The gentleman whose name heads this sketch is one of the
  best known and most popular and enterprising men in Sullivan county, where he
  was born January 18, 1858, in Elkland township, and where he has always made his
  home. His grandparents, John and Jane (Myres) Osler, were natives of New Jersey
  and Pennsylvania, respectively, and came to Sullivan county at an early date.
  
      Jeremiah M. Osler, grandfather of our subject, was the first settler in what
  is now Lincoln Falls, Elkland township, where his grandson Hiram now resides. He
  was the proprietor of the woolen mills at that place for many years and was a
  prominent and influential citizen. He married Miss Julia Brown, who was born in
  Sullivan county, a daughter of George W. and Mary (Snyder) Brown, old settlers
  of the county. Ten children were born to this union, two of whom died in
  childhood. Those living are: Hiram W., Newton, who resides at Dushore; Joseph,
  who lives at Fall Brook, Tioga county, Pennsylvania; Lillie, who is the wife
  Grant Little, of Laporte, Pennsylvania; Nellie, who married Moses Randall, of
  Elkland township; and Boyd, at home.
  
      Hiram W. Osler was reared on the home farm, where he was taught lessons of
  industry and honesty. He obtained a good, practical education in the public
  schools, to which he has added in his later years by general reading and
  observation, and is one of the best informed men in the county. He has an
  excellent farm of fifty acres near Lincoln Falls, on which he erected a good
  house, commodious barn and other out-buildings. He is a zealous Republican and
  has done much for the party, his advice being generally sought by the leaders in
  political affairs in this section of the country. He has held a number of public
  offices with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents, and
  on November 8, 1898, was elected sheriff of Sullivan county, taking office the
  first Monday in January, 1899.
  
      Mr. Osler was married June 26, 1882, to Miss Sadie King, a daughter of J. A.
  and Jane (Converse) King, the former a native of Northumberland county,
  Pennsylvania, and his wife of Sullivan county. The father died in October, 1894,
  and his wife in May, 1869. Their family consisted of four children: Alice R.,
  and Scepter, deceased; Susy Kate, the wife of Albert Kay, of Forksville,
  Pennsylvania; and Sadie, wife of our subject. Five children have been born to
  Mr. and Mrs. Osler, namely: Ira E., Sydney I., Marion I., John King and Susanna.
