While she was yet almost in her in
fancy she was bereft of both parents
and went to make her home with an
old uncle of her fathers. When she
was still in her early girlhood she
united with the Christian Church, but
straightway became dissatisfied
On March Is, 1865 she was united
in marriage to William Osburn
To this union were born seven chill
dren, four girls and three boys, all of
whom are living except two girls.

ly a short time before her death The

Mrs. Emma Curry, lives just across
the road from where deceased lived
when she became ILL.,
Miss Lizzie Osburn, tn. youngest
daughter and the only single child,
lived with her mother.
The husband, William 0sburn. pre-
eeded deceased into the Other world,
having passed to his reward January
g, 1908.
Deceased moved from Indiana to
johnson county, Kansas, where she
lived until the fall Of 1878 when the
family came to Arkansas and set
tied down not far from the present
location
In April, 1881, Mrs. Osburn united
with the Primitive Baptist Church at
White Oak, being one of the charter
members and the first person ever
baptised by the Rev. j. S. Cowan
She lived a faithful, consistent life in
the above mentioned church, never
Sinking her duty, until death released
her. Her absence will not be felt only
in the home but her vacant seat at the
church will be noticed by all who
knew her. Loved ones and friends
ere indeed comforted by the thought
that Gods promises are to the faith
full
She suffered intensely but bore it
patiently. From the very beginning
of her illness she had no hopes Of re-
covery and often expressed a desire
to ely home and be at rest
Her beautiful, daily christian walk is
satisfactory evidence that she, like
Paul, has fought good fight, she has
kept the faith, henceforth there is
laid up for her crown of righteous
ness and she has gone to receive it.
While words cannot express the
lonliness and sorrow, which her abb
sence causes, yet who of US, if en-
lowed with such power, and know
ing how anxious she was to go, could
place her here again in this world?
Funeral services We're held at the
White Oak church on March 6, and
were conducted by pastor Huddleson
and Rev. j. S. Cowan and the body
was then laid to rest in the cemetery
at that place. Relatives have the
sympathy of all who know them, in
this, their sad bereavement
Another crossing has been made
To the Eternal Shore,
The mother, who is so dear TO US
Wen see on earth no more
But she is safe on that bright shore
So free from sin and pain;
Though lonely 'twould be wrong for
US
To wish her back again.
And if we will but trust the Lord.
Until life's journeys Ger,
We, too, shall dwell with her above
On that Eternal Shore.
