“While Mr. and Mrs. Jack Osborne are serving sentences in the county jail their youngest child, Jesse Osborne, aged 1 year, died last night at Hempstead Hospital. The child had been taken in the hospital as it was suffering with severe malnutrition. It had been assigned by Probate Judge NB Gilliland to the Children’s Home but had never been taken there as it was being treated at the Hospital.”

“The funeral will be held this afternoon, burial at Greenlawn cemetery, Reverend GW Howes of the Children’s Home will have charge of the services. Besides the parents the following sisters and brothers survive: Mrs. Cenna Horsley, of Pond Run; Mrs. Mandy Jarvis, Delaware; Thelma and Walter in the Children’s Home.”

Mrs. Osborne1 is charged with neglecting her children and Osborne is charged with intent.”2
