After a struggle against the inevitable for over a week, when physicians and nurse feared each succeeding hour would be her last, death finally relieved the sufferings of Miss Jincy Osborn at 1 o'clock this (Thursday) morning.

2603. Joseph Cox Osborne
JOE OSBORN PASSES AWAY
Death at Meadow Grove Home Follows Long Illness
Joseph C. Osborn, one of Madison most prominent pioneer farmers and stockman, died at his home east of Meadow Grove Monday morning following an illness which had kept him in bed since the holidays. Funeral services which were largely attended by friends and acquaintances from all parts of the country, were conducted by Rev. Caldwell at the M.E. church in Meadow Grove and burial was made at the Osborn cemetery in Schoolcraft precinct.
Mr. Osborn was a native of Grayson County, Virginia, where he was born December 26, 1858, being in his sixty-eighth when the summoms came. He came to Madison County, Nebraska about forty two years ago and acquired a farm southwest of Battle Creek which was his home until he retired from active farming eight years ago and built a residence on a small farm joining the townsite of Meadow Grove.
While managing the old home place and before his health began to fail, Mr. Osborn became recognized as one of Nebraska's leading stockmen, as he raised and dealt extensively in purebred cattle. Unfortunately, reverses came, though through no fault of his own, and he was compelled to sacrifice his prize herd at a great financial loss. He met adversity bravely, however, and made every possible effort to protect those who had placed their trust in him. His friends were legion and his last days were made happy by the knowledge that he had lost none of them. Mr. Osborn was married three times. His first wife died within a few months after their marriage. His second wife, Mollie Dufphey, the mother of his children, died about nine years ago. A few years later he married Mrs. Rhoda Cornett, the wife who survives him.
Surviving also are two sons and two daughters: Tom Osborn and Mrs. Belle McCarrol of Chambers, Nebraska, and Bryan Osborn and Miss Hazel Osborn of Meadow Grove. A number of brothers and sisters are residents of Madison County.
Parents:
Richard Hale Dufphey (1810 - 1889)

LAID TO REST
Funeral of Mrs. J.C. Osborn Saturday Largely Attended
The funeral of Mrs. J.C. Osborn whose death was announced in these columns last week, was held at Mt. Zion church in Schoolcraft at 11 o'clock last Saturday morning.
The services were conducted by Rev. Harper of Madison, who spoke in words of tenderest sympathy and comfort, of deepest Christian hope and promise. So great was the attendance that Rev. Harper spoke from the entrance of the church that those outside might hear him. After the church services the body was escorted by hundreds of friends and relatives to the Osborn cemetery and there interred.
Mrs. Osborn, whose maiden name was Mollie Dufphey, was born in Grayson county, Virginia, March 12, 1858, and here she resided until her marriage to Joseph C. Osborn in December, 1889, when she came to Nebraska with her husband, the two locating on the home place south of Battle Creek. She passed away November 23, 1916, after a short illness, age 58 years, 6 months, and 11 days.
"God touched her with His finger, and she slept," the poet wrote. So may we say of this dear life__"God touched her with His finger, and she slept," but not until a beautiful life was lived, a noble example of patience, fidelity to truth and faith were given. Not until visions of a heavenly life had cheered and illuminated the valley of shadow. And now, that she sleeps, memory will take up the harp of life, and smiting the strings,find that her virtues melt into music. Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who were nearest to her will long for her with unutterable longings__ long for a mother's counsel and advice, and a wife's gentle and loving sympathy.
Deceased is survived by the husband and two sons, Tom and Bryan, and two daughters, Belle and Hazel, all at home.
She was a sister of Joseph Dufphey and Mrs. J.A. Wright of Battle Creek and Lawrence and Tom Dufphey of Tilden, Neb.
