  Obituary- Osborn, Sabra Mrs. Sabra J. Osborn died at 12:30 p.m., April 15, at her home in Rossville, Kan., at the age of 73 years 11 months 11 days. Sabra J. Cole was born on May 4th, 1835, near Rockville, Ind., was married to Andrew McNeil in 1851 and was a war widow in 1862 with 5 children. One daughter died on July 2nd, 1872, one son died on Oct. 30th, 1908, and 3 children survive her: Mrs. Rosa Osborn of Topeka, Kan., Nathan McNeil of Liberal, Kan., and Mrs. Lizzie Estes, were at her bed side when she passed away. She leaves 23 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, one brother in Missouri, and one sister in California. Mrs. Sabra McNeil was married to Robert Osborn in 1875. He died on March 2nd, 1903. She was an earnest temperance worker and was one of the first to go out with the Mother Thompson crusade against the saloons and knelt on the streets many times in prayer in Terre Haute, Ind. She loved her country and its flag and often expressed the wish that she might be wrapped in it when dead. She was not afraid to take upon her shoulders the support of her five little children when her soldier husband died, and trusting in God she did nobly. She was a good mother, an earnest church worker, always giving liberally of her means to help the work along. After a long illness she passed away trusting in her Savior. She will be missed by her children and her friends, but her work was done and the Master called her home. Almest her last words were "Vital sparks of heavenly flame quiet O quiet this mortal brain; I trembling, hoping, lingering, flying, O this bliss dying: Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life." Card of Thanks We thank our many friends for their kindness during our mother's sickness and for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Rosie Osborn Mr. Nathan McNeil Mrs. Lizzie Estes
