The news Of the death Of DR.. G. II.
Osgood was surprise to his friends
here.
He was an Oxford County boy, having
been born in Denmark, his father, the
late Capt. j. B. Osgood, then owning
what is known as the Willis Bean place
on the south road.
The family moved to Portland when
he was young. He was educated at
Bowdoin College and studied medicine
in New York. In the great fire in Port
land the home was destroyed, since
which he has spent his time in Orange,
\. j., during the winter, and at the APP
pleton Farm in Ipswich, Mass, sum-
mers, where he died after short illness
Sept. G, aged 76 years.
His stepmother, the late Sally Stick
ney Osgood, came to the old Stickney
homestead to live after the fire and for
twenty-five years the doctor was con-
slant visitor here. Since her death, and
his health being more delicate, his visits
have been less frequent, the last being
two years ago which he seemed to enjoy
very much.
During his last illness when his mind
wandered, he was here amid the scenes
once so familiar and dear to him.
He leaves a wife, Annie Appleton,
daughter of the late Gen. James Apple
ton of Portland, who has been his con-
slant companion, and doubtless her
watchful care has prolonged his days.
He was buried in Ipswich as was his ex-
pressed wish. 5.
