In the year of 1871 Bro.

Bro. Orsborn was an industrious man, a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, and a useful citizen. He out lived nearly all of his generation in his community, where he lived almost 45 years. He was in poor health for many years, but was cared for by his daughter and son-in-law, Wesley Dawson. His last illness was of short duration. He told them he was ready to depart this life at any time.
The funeral services were conducted by the writer at the Restitution church April 8th, in the presence of a large congregation. We laid the body to rest in the cemetery near by, to await the resurrection morning. It was my privilege to be his former pastor many years ago. Rev. W. R. Johnson
