Mary Elizabeth Osborn
Obituary.
Mary Elizabeth Hineline was born near Kenton, Ohio, Feb. 6, 1842, and died Nov. 22, 1899, of general breaking down of the digestive organs.
She came to Porter county about 1856 and was married to Edward C. Osborn April 2, 1861. By this union she was the mother of nine children, four of whom are dead. She leaves a husband, four daughters and one son, besides an aged mother, three brothers, one sister and many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
The deceased lay critically ill snce October 3, and during this time showed a vitality and patience which was remarkable. Her life was a monument to unselfishness and devotion to others, and it was this in a great measure which hastened her death. She was an active member of the Christian church. She thought she still had duties to perform and must get well, yet was fully prepared and ready to meet her Maker.
Funeral services were held at the German Lutheran church at 2 p. m. Friday, Revs. Brandt and Beall officiating. Interment at the Protestant cemetery. The W. R. C. had charge of the services.
Dear mother, we will miss you hourly, none can fill your place; we know you have earned, a rich reward and need a good long rest.
