They came from as far west as Chicago and . Pittsburg, and as far north as Brunswick, Me., and Syracuse, for the sole purpose of attesting their loyalty to each other and their college society. ‘The night was informally spent with reminisences of days at Yale and singing college songs.” OO a Alumni Association in Newark, A movement is on foot for the for- mation of a Yale Alumni Association of the City of Newark, distinct from the Essex County Association.

HON. AMOS O. OSBORN, 736. Amos O. Osborn, ’36, died at his home in Waterville, Conn., September 27, 1896. He was born in that village on December 12th, 1811, and, with the exception of two years, has been con- tinuously a resident there. He was the sixth in descent from his English ancestor, Richard, who came from England to Hingham, Mass., in 1635, and went from there to New Haven, Conn., in 1639, where he became a free planter and shared in the division of land in 1643. His fa- ther, Amos Osborn, born in 1764, was a native of Trumbull, Conn., and came to Waterville in 1802, engaged in dis- tilling, and he and his son have ever sinee lived there. His mother was Rosanna, daughter of Benjamin Sweetland, a soldier of the Revolu- tion. He was the last survivor of his six brothers and sisters. He received his early education in Waterville, and at the private school of Rev. Ely Bur- chard at Paris Hill. When only six- teen years of age he taught school for one winter at Stockwell. - Later he went to Hamilton, which had al- ready become 2a noted school centre, and after fitting there, was for two years a member of the class of 1836 He left college at the end of the Sophomore year to assist his fa- ther in business.

He made many friends through his congenial and ever cheerful disposition. Whiie assisting his father in busi- ness he also studied law with his brother-in-law, the Hon. Levi D. Car- penter, and also afterwards with Judge Joshua Spencer of Utica. In the fall of 1837 he was admitted to the bar and soon after opened an office for the practice of his profession in Westfield, N. Y. After two years he returned to Waterville to engage in the same profession. During the Civil War he contribu- ted very liberally to the Union cause. He was largely interested in the or- ganization of the Waterville Bank and for forty-five years was a member of its Board of Directors. In 1840 he was one of the original incorporators of Grace Church and for fifty-three years was its Senior Warden. Throughout all his life he was a stu- dent.
