Wilfred E. Osborn, aged 19 years, died Nov. 5 at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Osborn, 218 North Washington Street, and thereby another home is made lonely and desolate. A place is vacant which never can be filled. He was a boy honest and industrious, loved and respected by all; of a bright, sunny disposition that made his acquaintance a pleasure to all who knew him; a father’s pride and a mother’s love and comfort. We feel that he put his trust in God, for in the hours of his pain and suffering he never forgot to ask for divine help. Nothing but time can heal the terrible wound in the hearts of the heart broken parents. He leaves a father, mother, one brother, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his absence, yet we feel their loss is his eternal gain. And dearest Wilfred though we deeply mourn and sadly miss you, we feel that you are safe in the arms of Jesus, safe from __roding care, freed from the world’s temptation, sin cannot reach you there. -s
