ABNER
OSBORN, a well-known resident of Liberty township, was born
in Youngstown township, Sept. 5, 1810. His father, Joseph
Osborn, was born in Virginia and came to Ohio in 1804, locating
in Youngstown township, Trumbull county (now Mahoning), and was
among the early pioneers. Like other old settlers in the wild
country of Ohio at the time, he began in the woods with a dense
wilderness about him in all directions, though he succeeded in
making a good farm and lived upon this till his death, which
occurred Feb. 17, 1846, aged seventy-two years. There were
eight children in his family, four of whom are now living.
Mr. Abner Osborn came to Girard in 1841. He helped build
the present grist-mill in company with Josiah Robins and
Jesse Baldwin. Mr. Osborn has been engaged in various
occupations. In connection with farming he is interested in
coal business in Carroll and Columbiana counties. He was
married in 1839, to Miss Abigail Allison, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county. Six children have been born to them, five
of whom are living. One son was killed in the Rebellion.
Mrs. Osborn is a member of the Methodist church.
Politically Mr. Osborn is a good Democrat and is one of the
enterprising men of the county.
