JOHN OSBORNE, dealer in grain, lumber and coal and one of the prominent men of Scranton, is a native of Cornwall, England, born in the year 1844, a son of Robert OSBORNE. 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. He remained with his parents till 1866, but remained near his home till 1872, when he came to Iowa, and located at Ogden, Boone County, where he was engaged in dealing in live stock and farm implements until 1877, when he came to Scranton, Greene County. The year before leaving Ogden he began dealing in grains in connection with his other business. In 1876 Mr. OSBORNE formed a partnership with SYLVESTER + HUNTLEY, they succeeding A.S. OMRO in his grain trade, and the same year this firm built the west elevator. Mr. OSBORNE bought out SYLVESTER + HUNTLEY's interest in 1882 and has since conducted the business alone, becoming one of the leading business men of Scranton. His elevator has a capacity of about 14,000 bushels. In the spring of 1885 he added the lumber trade to his business, in which he is meeting with good success. Mr. OSBORNE was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth A. BAKER, a daughter of John U. BAKER, of Iowa County, Wisconsin. In politics Mr. OSBORNE affiliates with the Republican party.
