Marked by Charity Cook Chapter, Homer-Abraham Osborn is buried with his wife, Loretta Finch on the old Osborn Farm, Section 4, Woodstock Township Lenawee County.

His wife, Loretta Finch survived the Wyoming Valley Massacre in Pennsylvania. Her father and two uncles died in the Wyoming Valley Massacre. Loretta watched her father being scalped. She then carried her 4-year-old brother, Asahel, for many miles so the Indians would not kill him. They survived the Wyoming Valley Massacre in July 1778. This later information is from Nathaniel Osborn, a great‑grandson, who showed the burial spot on a knoll in a field, formerly an orchard, some distance back from the highway, to Mrs. Harriet Clark of Lucy Wolcott Barnum Chapter, Adrian.
