Osgood, Frant (26 SEP 1849 - 3 JUN 1917)

Frant Osgood, after a several week’s illness, took a sudden turn for the worse late last week and his physician pronounced his malady as creeping paralysis. Mr. Osgood continuing to fail, passed into that last sleep from which there is no awakening at midnight Sunday night.

Deceased was 67 years old the 26th of September 1916. He was born in St. Lawrence Co., N.Y. and when a lad of 14 years came to Clark Co. with his parents and settled on the farm in the town of York (Clark Co., Wis.), which has ever since been his home. Here he was married to Miss Azuba Davis July 4th, 1877, and there their children Myron, Rella, and Myrtle were born. These children, Myron of the town of Grant, Rella on the home place in the town of York, and Myrtle, Mrs. Kearney Davis of this village, with four grandchildren and his one brother Leroy of Portland, Oregon, survive him. His wife preceded him in death 8 years ago, the 10th of April. The funeral was held from the home at 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Wilson Mallory officiating, and interment was made in the Windfall Cemetery beside the grave of his late beloved wife.

Mr. Osgood was a well-known member of the M.W.A. and the funeral was conducted under the M.W.A. auspices. The pallbearers were his fraternal brothers Fisk Lee, Webb Winn, D.S. Rausch, W.D. Rose, E. A. Beeckler and Noble Downer.

Deceased was a quiet, reserved man who led a peaceful uneventful life, devoid of ostentatious display. He was always a kind, loving, indulgent husband and father, a worthy and respected friend and neighbor.
