l Mrs. M. Norwood Osborne, for &
number of years well known in this
city, died at her home in Lansing early
Tuesday morning after an illness Of
several weeks. The funeral service:
We're held in that city yesterday after
noon, Rev. Carlos III. Hanks, of this
city, of whose church Mrs Osborne was
a member attending and assisting
Several other friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Osborne in this city also were present
| at the services. The loss is one which
is felt by many Owosso friends as an
unusually sad one.
| Mrs. Osborne's maiden name was Miss
| Alice Kent Green and her home had
always been in Lansing and vicinity
except during the seven years from 1891
| to 1898 when she lived in this city She
was born in Lansing township May 49,.
1868, and was a graduate from the
Lansing schools and the state normal at
Ypsilanti. On October %, 1850, she
was married to Mr.. NJ. Norwood Os
borne and for the first year OF their
married life they lived in Lansing.
After leaving the many friends whom
they made in their stay in Owosso they
again went to Lansing where they have
since resided, continuing however to
keep up the warmest friendship for
their OwOSso associates.
Several weeks ago, Mrs. Osborne was
taken with severe sickness from which
she partially recovered, and it was
thought she was out of any danger.
Last week she was taken worse and on
Saturday it was decided that she would
have to undergo an operation, which
was performed on Saturday. Sur
geons from Ann Arbor and Lansing
gave her the best possible attention but
without success. She leaves besides her
husband, her father and two sisters,
Miss Ella Green, Of Lansing, and Mrs.
Lizzie Tucker, of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Mrs. Osborne was woman who will
always be remembered by many friends
III this city as not only one OF tLe
brightest, but one of the most CHEEKY
and thoughtful of women. She always
was thinking of some little act of kind
ness and some little thoughtful attention
which she could do and show to make
some day brighter one for one of her
acquaintance and there is more than
one person in this city today who can
look back to such little remembrances
and think of days which meant more to
them because Mrs. Osborne had re-
membered them in some pleasant
thoughtful way, The most sincere
sympathy of Owosso friends is extended
to the family and in particular to the
stricken husband.

not grieye for him as one who dies in
his youthful bloom; nature had run its
course. He had lived out mans allot-
ted years-three score and ten--and
six more years had been given him TO
complete his journey,
His life was indeed one Of usefulness
Kindness and nObleness. He viii be

rich and poor, youth and the aged

his kindness to me, and now / am
