General Notes: Husband - Uriah D. Osman


The first school which he attended was held in what was known as the Sink school house at The Loop; but his educational advantages were very meagre, for at the tender age of eight years he began to earn his own living. After living for six weeks with James Powley, a farmer, he began learning the tailor's trade under Henry Holtzman, of Centre Hall, Pennsylvania, and during his apprenticeship received only his board and clothes. When he had mastered the trade, his employer left Centre Hall, and Mr. Osman assumed charge of the business at the same stand. For over twenty years he was the leading tailor of the place, and only laid aside his trade when compelled to do so by ill health. He removed to his farm in February, 1871. It comprised sixty acres, which he purchased for $6,000, and to its cultivation and improvements devoted his time and attention for many years with most gratifying results.
