OBITUARY
Elizabeth C. Osborn

The approach of death fill the beholders with awe no matter how long his coming has been expected, but when he appears suddenly and lays an icy hand upon some loved one a shock is experienced which is hard to overcome, yet even this heart breaking cloud of grief has its silver lining. To have lived long on God's earth world in a state of vigorous, healthful activity, given the joy of serving those beloved until the summons came, is in itself a wonderful blessing. When the messenger comes, to be told to "come quickly" without lingering to suffer pain or distress, to hasten away from sorrow and trial and pass into the realms of rest and joy, is indeed a cause for thanksgiving to those left behind. Such was the life and passing of Elizabeth C. Osborn, born in Laclede county, Mo., Feb. 22, 1839. Died in Cedar county July 20, 1911.

Her long life was filled to the brim with action. As strong body linked with a strong, active spirit, made her a notable character. Her great cheerfulness, hearty laughter, vigorous, ambitious activities have left their impression upon those around her. The mother of ten children her hands and heart were full. She lived to see them all men and women of honor and trust, to see her life work accomplished and then be the first of that large circle to escape the trials of life into the land of security.

She was married to Jas. W. Osborn Oct. 22, 1859, and was his willing helpmeet through more than 50 years. Since 1866 they lived the free hearty life of the farmer in Cedar county and she bore her share of love and labor in the accumulation of wealth which came to them as the fruits of their efforts.

For 50 years she was a member of the Christian church, a follower of him who gave his life that we may live again after death has wreaked his vengeance upon us. She was powerless against his mighty power, but it cannot endure for her Lord has broken the bonds and set her spirit free to enjoy the reward of her obedience to his commands.'

She is survived by her husband J. W. Osborn and ten children; Jas. W. Osborn, Kansas, Rosa b. Buler, Los Angeles, Calif; Sarah Plughoff, Haily, Idaho; Laura Shaver, Kearney, Mo.; Molie Pyle, Emporia, Kan.; Alice Pyle, Emma Peters, John Osborn, S. E. Osborn of Stockton.
