C.H. OSBORN 86 YEARS OLD, DIES SATURDAY
Just Received 50-Year Diamond Jewel from Odd Fellows Lodge Last Month
Charles H. Osborn, a veteran of the Civil War, and a well known resident of this city for many years, died at the home of his son William Osborn, 400 Wadsworth Avenue, Saturday morning at 1:15 o'clock at the age of 86 years, 1 month and 3 days. Death was caused from old age.

Mr. Osborn was born February 20, 1843, in Champaign, Illinois, but came to this city when he was about fourteen years old.

Last month Mr. Osborn celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday and a few days later was presented with the fifty-year jewel pin by the local Odd Fellows Lodge. Shortly after that he took ill and has been confined to his bed for the past few weeks.

He is survived by three sons, William, Alonzo and Henry Osborn, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. The Odd Fellows had charge of the services and six of their number acted as pallbearers. Rev. C. H. Kuhlman officiated. Burial was made in the Glenwood cemetery.
