"The Journal-Telephone", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, Apr. 24, 1919, p 1.
Henry R. Osborn was born in Girard, Pa., March 29, 1840, and died at his home in Milton, Wis., the result of an accident, April 17, 1919, at the age of 79 years and 19 days. At the age of four years he came to Oconomowoc, Wis., with his parents. When twelve years old he moved with his parents to the farm in Harmony, now occupied by C. A. Rice.
On September 22, 1862, he enlisted in the 22nd Reg. Wis. Vol. and remained in the service to the close of the war. He was a prisoner for fifteen days, confined in Libby prison. He suffered all the privations and hardships of army life, and at one time was nigh unto death from typhoid pneumonia.
In the year 1866, October 23, he was united in marriage to Orie A. Wheeler, who survives him. One son was born to them, Glen Eugene Osborn, of Riverside, Calif., who with his wife and two grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends, are left to mourn his loss.
He followed the occupation of farming until fifteen years ago when they moved to their home in Milton.
He was baptised and joined the Free Baptist church of North Johnstown a number of years ago, but for several years he has not been a member of any church. He was possessed of a jovial disposition, was a good husband and father, a kind neighbor, a true friend, and was honored and respected by all who knew him.
The American peopel respect and honor the G. A. R. of which he was a faithful member - so in ancient Rome, centuries ago, great honors were bestowed on the Praetorian Guard, established by Augustus, the 1st Roman Emperor, and maintained by successive Emperors for 300 years, but the Praetorian Guard long since passed away and its glory hath departed - so the G. A. R. of the Republic is rapidly being mustered out and we will trust that the soul of our honorable, kindly friend and comrade has joined the Grand Army of the redeemed. So his friends, his comrades, came to drop the tear of sorrow on his bier.
Funeral services were held at the home at 2:30 p.m. Monday ant at the Congregational church at 3 o'clock. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, tokens of love and respect from his many friends and relatives.
