The father immigrated to America when our subject was a child, settling in Iowa County, Wisconsin, where he resided till his death in May, 1878. The father was a miner, and followed that occupation from the time he came to America in 1848 until 1855 when he engaged in farming, which he followed the remainder of his life. His family consisted of six children, three sons and three daughters. John, the subject of this sketch; Robert living in Iowa County, Wisconsin; Joseph, of Carroll County, Illinois; Emma, wife of Fairfield SYLVESTER, of Ogden, Iowa; Ellen, wife of W. J. BURNS, of Ponca, Nebraska, and Margaret J., wife of J. W. TAYLOR, of Iowa County, Wisconsin. John OSBORNE, our subject grew to manhood in Iowa County, being reared to agricultural pursuits.
