BEDDING.
$. B. OSBORNE.

The funeral of Samuel B. Osborne took place at his late home, Friday afternoon. Rev W. J. Jennings offered prayer and his pastor, Rev D. Taylor, followed in appropriate remarks. The large number present testified to the high esteem in which he was held in our community. Dying in the prime of life and leaving a family who so much needed his counsel and support, his death is invested with peculiar sadness. Though long expect ed, his death was shock to the com munity and a crushing blow to his little family. Gentle and unobtrusive in man. ner, he was a man of good judgment and strict integrity. For some years and up to d few weeks before his death, he was tax collector and, so strict was he in his business methods, that, though he some times had a large amount of town funds in his possession, he never borrowed one cent of it for temporary need, but kept 1t intact to hand over to the treasurer, a striking example in this age of loose bus mess management on the part of offic- ials who handle public funds. When his books were handed over to his successor, everything was found correct. He was a faithful aRd consistent member of the Methodist church. During the latter part of his illness, his faith in God shone out as clear as the monday sun and his pastor testified in his funeral discourse that his visits to the bedside of his dying friend had been an inspiration and ben ediction to him. He seemed especially anxious for the salvation of the young people of the community and besought his pastor "to put his arms around them and hold them" and win them from life of frivolty and sin. He leaves wife and two children, son and daughter and a sister, Mrs Jesse l.. Sanford He lost two brothers, who died in early child hood. He wa son of the late George Osbo rne, perhaps as we'll known through out Fairfield county as any of our Red ding citizens. His aged mother is living to mourn his loss. He was buried by the side of his father in the Ridge ceme- tery. The pail bearers were Henry Whitehead, Theron E. Platt, H. s. Os- born, William H. Hill. We would join in the beautiful farewell of his pastor at the close of his discourse and say, "Good bye, brother, till the morning; we shall meet again."
