General Source: S1164Text: CHARLES J. OSBORN
Charles J. Osborn, an agriculturist of prominence in Cheyenne County, resides on his fine farm in Sidney Precinct. He has been closely identified with the public affairs of his locality from the early stages of its development, serving in different capacities at various times, during the period 1894-'96 holding the office of county clerk, and has always taken an active part in county and state politics.
Mr. Osborn was born five miles from Hillsboro, in Montgomery County, Illinois, June 30th, 1862, a son of Samuel C. and Lydia (Kendrick) Osborn who are now deceased. He lived on the farm and received the usual schooling of the farmer lad in those times, remaining with his parents until 1885, when he came to Nebraska and located in Cheyenne County, where he spent a few months, then turned back to the eastern part of the state for a time, returning to Cheyenne County in the spring of 1886, and he has made this section his home ever since. He filed on a homestead in Section 22 Township 16 Range 49 which he later sold, filing on another claim in Section 14 Township 14 Range 50, now owning four hundred and eighty acres of deeded land, together with a full section, making a ranch of one thousand one hundred and twenty acres, which is known as the 'Idlewild Ranch and Dairy Farm.' He is engaged to a large extent in dairying, and keeps a large number of cows, besides other stock. He was among the first to raise high-grade Shorthorn cattle in this part of the state, and has made a complete success of his venture.
Mr. Osborn farms about one hundred and thirty acres, raising corn and small grains. He has erected good buildings of all kinds, and every portion of the ranch bears evidence of good management and prosperity.
Mr. Osborn married Miss Iva Bewley, a native of Montgomery County, Illinois. The wedding occurred there November 4th, 1883, the twenty-fifth anniversary of which was duly celebrated in 1908 by all their neighbors and friends from Sidney and the surrounding country. The parents of Mrs. Osborn, Oliver H. and Sarepta (Meisenheimer) Bewley, have both passed away. Mr. Osborn's family consists of the following children: Leo E., engaged in the decorating and painting business, residing in Sidney. One son, Maynard Waldo, now living in Sidney, married Winnifred Bixby. Viola Blanche, Jesse R. and Clifford are still at home. They are a most interesting family, and have a pleasant home, surrounded by a large number of warm friends in their community.
Mr. Osborn and his wife are both active in neighborhood affairs, the former now acting as school moderator, while the latter holds the office of treasurer, school district No. 77. Mr. Osborn is independent of party lines, voting for principle and men rather than political affiliation. He is a member of the Methodist Church of Sidney.

General Source: S145Note: We are not using the birth places for the children from this source that have them born in Cheyenne, New Brunswick, Canada, or Sidney, New Brunswick, Canada. This source also has that Charles and Iva died in Sidney, New Brunswick, Canada, but we are not using this as their death data either. As late as the 1930 census we have Charles and Iva living in Sidney, Cheyenne, Nebraska, so we think that someone is incorrect about Sidney and Cheyenne being in New Brunswick, Canada.

Pioneer Homesteader Dies Suddenly Tuesday; Came West in Covered Wagon
Charles J. Osborn, 84, who came to Cheyenne County in a covered wagon sixty years ago, died at his home, 917 Maple St., shortly after noon Tuesday. Death came quietly while Mr. Osborn was taking a brief rest following lunch. Relatives said he had been ailing for several months but no immediate concern had been felt about his condition because he appeared to be in his usual good spirits.
A past state leader in Farmers Union circles and considered to be one of the best posted farm authorities in his region, Mr. Osborn was widely known throughout Nebraska. Until ill health and advanced age forced his retirement he maintained a constant interest in Farmers Union affairs and was a familiar figure at all state, district and local meetings. He headed the state organization in the 1920's and spent much of his time in furthering the growth of the farm union movement.
Funeral services will be held from the First Methodist Church today (Friday) at two o'clock, The Rev. Walter Jewett officiating. Interment will be in the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery under the direction of the Craig Home for Funerals.
Mr. Osborn was born five miles from Hillsboro, in Montgomery County, Illinois, June 30, 1862, the son of Samuel C. and Lydia (Kendrick) Osborn. He lived on the home farm and received the usual schooling of the farmer lad in those times, remaining with his parents until 1885 when he came to Nebraska and located in Cheyenne County. He spent a few months here, then returned to eastern Nebraska. In the spring of 1886 he again came to Cheyenne County and it was here that he spent the balance of his life.
Mr. Osborn originally filed on a homestead in Section 22 Township 15 Range 49, but he later sold this and took another claim on Section 14 Township 14 Range 50. Adding to these holdings, Mr. Osborn became one of the region's leading farmers, for many years operating the 'Idlewild Ranch and Dairy Farm' which consisted of 480 acres of deeded land and another full section which brought his holdings above one thousand acres. He was among the first to raise high-grade Shorthorn cattle in this part of the state, and he made a complete success of the venture.
Mr. Osborn was married to Iva Bewley, also a native of Montgomery County, Illinois, the wedding taking place November 4, 1883. Five children were born to this union, Leo E., Maynard W., Viola Blanche (Mrs. Nels Miller), Jesse R., and Clifford. All live in Sidney except Clifford, who resides in Nampa, Idaho. They recently held a family reunion at which all of the children were present, Mrs. Osborn died in 1938.
The Osborns were very active in community affairs during the early years of their residence in this territory. Mr. Osborn held the office of county clerk from 1894 to 1896, was a school moderator in his district while residing on the farm and always took a prominent part in affairs of the Methodist Church. He was a past state president of the Farmers Union and during his active days, remained one of the best informed farm authorities in the state.
One of Mr. Osborn's favorite hobbies was the compilation of historical facts about Cheyenne County and western Nebraska - fact which he set down in a number of interesting articles appearing in The Telegraph many years ago. Another hobby was the making of footstools, which he gave away to young couples about to be married. Members of the family said he made at least three hundred of these pieces.
