The body of Mr. Roland Osgood was brought here and interred in the Elk Spring Valley cemetery late Sunday afternoon. A large crowd of people gathered at the cemetery early in the afternoon thinking the interment would take place about two o'clock, but it was postponed until the afternoon stage so his two daughters, Mesdames W. M. Seeley and Belle Greenlease of Dayton, Ohio, could be present. To say that Mr. Osgood has been a great benefit to this city would be putting it lightly, eight handsome residences on Michigan avenue, named by him, stand as living monuments to his belief in that portion of our city, and if he had a single enemy in the city we never heard of it. He gave everyone he had business with a square deal. His sad demise is mourned by his many friends, and his bereaved widow and children have the sympathy of the entire community.
