AN OLD CITIZEN—Who Has Lived in Brunswick, for Forty-three Years—Died This Morning at His Home—Mr. A.G. Osgood Passed Away, Aged 83.
One of Brunswick’s oldest citizens, a man who has been a resident of the city for 43 years, and who possessed the esteem and confidence of all who knew him, died this morning, at the venerable age of 83—Albert G. Osgood.
Death came to him at 11 o’clock at his residence on Union Street, where for five days he had lain a sufferer from an attack of congestion of lungs.
Mr. Osgood was born in Saco, Me., on April 27, 1813. He came to Brunswick in January, 1853. Here he began business and amassed considerable property, consisting mainly of real estate. He was a lifelong member of the Methodist church, and held important positions in the church work. He was a strong, earnest advocate of prohibition and believed that its enactment into statutory law would work the greatest reform possible in our national life. He was the first to cast a national prohibition ballot in Brunswick.
Mr. Osgood leaves two daughters, Mrs. M.C. Rowe and Mrs. William Anderson, and a number of grandchildren. He survived his wife by several years.
The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock from the First Methodist church. Rev Ed. F. Cook conducting the services. Every one who knew the deceased will be prompt to accord to his life the merit of an honor that was never questioned and a faith that never faltered.
