Rockland has lost another prominent citizen by the death of Herbert L. Osborne, the well known grocer, which occurred Tuesday evening from the effects of cancer. He was an honest, upright man, and was considered one of the most competent business men in town.
Mr. Osborne was a native of Whitman, being the second son of the late James Osborne of that town. His age was 43 years. He was employed for many years as a clerk in Geo. E. Hersey's grocery store, in his native place, and until 1881 came to Rockland to manage the Union Store. During his seven years' connection with the store, the business was greatly increased and the yearly statements were very satisfactory. Two years ago he entered business on his own account, and had just built up a good trade when death called him away. He leaves a widow and two daughters, who have the sympathy of the community.
The funeral took place from his late residence, Vernon St., with Rev. F.A. Balcom officiating. The singing was by a quartette composed of Messrs. Mitchell and Southgage and Misses Hughes and Poole. The remains were interred in Whitman.
