General Notes: Husband - Bryan Hill Osborne


He began his education in the public schools of Franklin, Pennsylvania, and attended high school at Cleveland, Ohio, where he fitted for college. He studied at Ohio Wesleyan University as a member of the class of 1880, but did not take the full course. He began the study of law in the office of McCalmont & Osborne at Franklin, and was admitted to the bar in 1881, entering upon active practice immediately. His law office was thereafter maintained at Franklin, and he attained high distinction in his profession, at the same time filling various offices of trust, in connection with the administration of the city government. For several terms he was a member of the council, was mayor in 1896, and in 1903, 1905 and 1906 represented his district in the State Legislature, running on the Republican ticket; in 1916 was one of the presidential electors who supported Hon. Charles E. Hughes. His business connections include association with the First National Bank of Franklin, of which he was a director; Sibley Soap Company; S. T. Karns' Sons Company and West End Water Company-director of all these and secretary of the Water Company; and he was financially interested in various other enterprises in the vicinity. He co-operated in the promotion of many projects appealing to men of public spirit in Franklin; was president of the board of trustees of the Franklin Hospital; and a trustee of the State Hospital for the Insane at Warren, PA. His religious connection was with St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church at Franklin, which he served as vestryman for some years. [CAB, 483]
