Died: At her home on West Third street Spencer, Iowa, February 5, 1906, Mrs. Frank Osborn, aged 50 years, 8 months and 28 days.

Margaret Ann Johnson was born in Monroe county, West Virginia, May 12, 1855. In 1850 she came with her parents to Iowa. She was married in Center Junction, Jones county, Iowa, June 28, 1870, to Frank Osborn. With her husband she moved to Spencer, Iowa, May 8, 1885.

Mrs. Osborne's husband died in March, 1893. She was for several years a great sufferer being confined to the house the greater part of the time, yet she never troubled other people with her suffering but was always cheerful and of a sunny disposition. She was for many years before her death a member of the Congregational church and the Christianity exemplified in her life made her beloved by all who knew her.

The funeral services took place this afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. O. Thrush, of Webster City, a former pastor of the Congregational church of Spencer, assisted by Rev. E. E. Day the present pastor.

Interment took place in Riverside cemetery where the body was laid to rest by that of her husband.
The heartfelt sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved mother and other members of the family.
