Osburn Cemetery originated as a family cemetery. It is on the site of an early Methodist Chapel called the Townline Methodist Society which was active up to the 1930's. The farm lot was originally owned by William and Lydia Osburn who were both born in New York. In 1821 they obtained Lot 1, Concession 4, in Eramosa Township. William died 16 Oct 1831 and was the first known burial on this property, though there are believed to be some infants/children buried before this date. His burial is in the centre of the field to the south of Osburn Cemetery. The remaining stones for the cemetery have been gathered and placed onto a cement slab. Although the cemetery has been called Osborn, the family has always spelled their surname Osburn.
