Here’s some info about Dru’s great-grand parents (Claire’s great-great)! There’s been a history of florists in this family!
Edgar N. Osborn, deceased, was well and favorably known in Danville, where he successfully conducted a floral business for many years. He was born at Mahomet, Illinois, September 26, 1870, the son of Jonathan and Fillota (Ross) Osborn. Jonathan Osborn was a direct descendant of Daniel Boone. He was a native of Kentucky and died in 1916. His wife, born in Ohio, died in 1910. Both are buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Danville. Their children numbered ten, of whom Edgar N., the subject of this sketch, was the third in order of birth. Edgar N. Osborn spent his boyhood on a farm in Champaign County, Illinois, and obtained his education in the district schools. He was eleven years old when his parents moved to a farm near Danville. He was employed as a boy in the greenhouse of Frank Smith, of Danville, and after several years engaged in business for himself at 2200 North Vermilion Street. In 1906 he purchased the property at 101 East English Street, where he continued in business until the time of his death, which occurred May 2, 1928.
