Wordless Wednesday
As with Randy Seaver, I’m not capable of a wordless posting, but I’ll keep it short.
This is the tombstone for my 3rd great grand-father, John Osborne (1808-1865) in McLeary Cemetery near Humboldt in Gibson County, Tennessee. It is a shared tombstone with his daughter Emily Osborne McGee (1840-1865) who died a month after he did.
The man who sent me the picture told me John Osborne wasn’t very well liked and was perhaps shot to death.
Now there’s an honest man!!
I actually am the one that took this picture. Im a historian for the city of Humboldt. Would love to find a picture of him. Im sure you know he owned a hotel here at that time. WOuld love to hear from you.
