In Memory of Dennis Osborn -

No one had the confidence, respect and esteem of his friends and neighbors to a greater extent than did Dennis Osborn. During the forty five years he resided in Burt and Washington counties where he reared a lovely family. Every member of which is an honor to his name.

No greater eulogy can be said of a man than that he was a kind father, a true friend and a good neighbor. In all these Mr. Osburn measured up in the fullest.

Honorable in all business relations, his word was a good as gold. As a farmer and stockman Mr. Osburn was quite successful.
By Mr. Waldo Hancock of Herman
