Daughter of Benjamin Morris and Ann Davis of Sedgley, Staffordshire, England. Sarah married Thomas Osborn in England 1859. The family immigrated to the United States in 1880 and settled in Streator Illinois.MRS. T. OSBORNE IN FINAL SLEEP
RESIDENT OF STREATOR SINCE 1884 CALLED TO LAST REST YESTERDAY AT NOON.
Great sorrow was expressed yesterday afternoon when it became known that Mrs. Thomas Osborne, of 1309 North Wasson street, had heard the call of her Master, and her soul had taken flight from whence it came.
In her circle none was more respected than was Mrs. Osborne. In her earlier years she made her presence felt in her community, but during recent years her advanced age made it impossible for her to minister to those in trouble as she had in former years. Yet despite the fact that she was compelled to stay closer to her home, her spirit was not confined to the four walls, and many a visitor who called upon her was well repaid for the visit, as one could not converse with this christian woman without feeling better for it.
Born in England.
Mrs. Osborne was born in Straffordshire, England, on May 21, 1836, her maiden name being Sarah Morris. In her home town she was wooed and won by Thomas Osborne, and the wedding was performed in that city in 1856. To this union, which was an extremely happy one, because of the ability of the bride to provide a cheerful home, was born ten children. All of these children, with the exception of Jabez, who died 23 years ago, survive.
In 1883 Mr. Osborne came to Streator and secured employment. One year later he sent for his family, and the wife and all the children, with the exception of Benjamin, came to Streator in 1884. In 1885 Benjamin followed.
Streator Was Home.
The family made Streator its home ever since coming to the United States.
The first sorrow to visit the family was in 1895, when the son was called by death. The second sorrow came when the loving husband and father died. This was eight years ago last July.
Mrs. Osborne had an especially good constitution and never knew any sickness. Old age demanded its toll however, and she grew so weak that she was compelled to take to her bed a week ago. She passed quietly and peacefully away yesterday forenoon at 11:55, without having uttered a single word of complaint. Her life had been such that she was prepared to die. Almost immediately upon coming to Streator the decedent united with the Primitive Methodist church, and since that time had been a close adherent of the doctrine of that church.

Surviving are the following children,
John Osborne of Orient, Ill,;
Mrs. Roger Piercey, Streator;
