Mrs. Melissa Osborn departed this life at the residence of Rev. H. H. Badley in Macksburg, on last Monday morning at about eight o'clock. She died in great peace. Had been sick eight or ten weeks. She was the daughter of Esq. J. J. Greer. Was the wife of Wm. Osborn, Mrs. Badley's oldest son. She was and has been a member of the Christian or Deciples(typo) church for nearly 20 years. Was an amiable woman, a fond wife and mother. Was 34 years old. She leaves three children motherless, but not without hosts of friends who sympathize with them and their lonely father. We are sure all his many acquaintances and relatives extend to him their love and best wishes.

Note: Burial was in the Kivett cemetery.
