  	James Osborne was born Oct. 23, 1812 in Prince Edward county, Ontario, and died in Evansville Jan. 10, 1904, at the ripe age of 88 years. He came to the United States in 1864 and settled in this vicinity. He was married to Louisa Ballard, Sept. 25, 1838 at Picton, Canada. Seven children were born to this union, five boys and two girls, three of whom with Mrs. Osborne are called to mourn, viz: Mrs. J. N. Barnard of this city, James N., of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Elizabeth Mabee of Janesville, these with their families, friends, and neighbors sorrow, but not for those without hope. Mr. Osborne was converted in 1840 and joined the Methodist church. At a later date he transferred his membership to Evansville, thus for over sixty years he was identified with the church of God. For many years, he held the office of class leader, and steward and was highly esteemed for his works sake. In his later years on account of the infirmities of age he was not as active, but his heart was in the work for in the most serious hours of his illness he frequently referred to the good old days of his active christian life. The way brightened as death approached and he was ready to go. Funeral services were held from the late residence Tuesday afternoon, Rev. James Churm officiating. Miss Fanny Powles sang two beautiful solos.
