THE WHIRLPOOL OSBORNE BROWN Osborne was born July 1, 1934, at Blaine, Maine, during a terrific thunder shower. He lived in Robinson with his parents until he was two years old. Then they moved to Mars Hill, Maine. He moved to Sidney, Maine in 1939, where his father owned and operated a farm of 54 acres. Coming from Mars Hill to Sidney, he experienced his first and only trip on the train. In the fall of 1939, he started to get his educa- tion, entering the subprimary at a small Sidney school. He walked a mile to and from school every day. In a few months, he was transferred to a larger Sidney school. He was the only boy in his class, with four girls. When he was eleven years old, he moved with his family to a small camp on Messalonskee Lake in Oakland. Here they spent the summer. That fall he entered the fifth grade at John S. Tapley School in Oakland. He was very fond of music, especially hillbilly music. He was a member of the school Glee Club. In the fall of 1944, his parents moved into the town of Oakland, where his father was employed by H. P. Hood and Sons. They lived on Church Street. He joined the Cub Scouts of America in Oak- land. His mother was leader of their den. He attended the Methodist Church regularly. In Oakland he received his first new bicycle. He had an old one he had earned by shaking grainbags on the Sidney Farm for his father. 1951 The following summer his parents moved to Smithfield, where his father was a guide on the Belgrade Lakes. Here they spent the summer. He had learned to swim in Oakland, but was a better swimmer in Smithfield. In the early fall of 1945, he moved with his family to Dry Mills, Maine, where his father was employed at the State Game Farm. In September he entered the sixth grade at Hancock Junior High School. Here he met many friends who were very close to him. Eugene Leach was the first boy he met at Dry Mills. He graduated from the eighth grade with the honor part of Class Motto in 1948. He entered Pennell Institute in the fall with his classmates, and took an active part in baseball, basketball, and other things. When he was 12, he went to work at Noraco Inn, where he worked for two years cleaning the grounds and such. The summer of his fifteenth birthday, he went to work for himself raising almost an acre of cucumbers. He also worked at the Dry Mills open-air theatre. The next summer of 1950 he raised cucumbers again. This time he had more. He also worked at Mano Ranch at Raymond on weck-ends. On October 20, 1950 he was in a motorcycle accident in Cumberland Center, Maine. He died at 5:00 a.m. October 21, 1950. He left behind him all his friends, boys and girls alike, who were always so nice to him, Patty Brown, '55 Three
