    Passing on short distance northward we come to one of the oldest houses in the town. It is known as the Clark Osborn placed and is located at the intersecting point of the Chestnut tree Hill road and the old Litchfield turnpike. This house was built about the middle of the 17th century and is of very ancient architecture. The Heavy oak lumbers that form the framework were hewed in the forest nearby. Some of them were large enough to hold the weight of a train of cars. This house was the one of Clark Osborn and his good wife for many years. Here were born to them three children, two sons and one daughter: Thomas, S. Ray F. and Mary.
    Thomas married Miss Hawley of Oxford. He served three years in the Civil War, and returning to Oxford lived there most of the time. He owned and lived in what is now the Episcopal rectory, at the Center. He was quite an orator, and had been one of the leading politicians of the town. At the time of his death he was assistant postmaster.
    Ray F. Osborn, the younger brother, spent his boyhood days in Oxford, but went to Youngstown, Ohio, in early life, where he became very prominent as a business man and politician. At the time of his death he was postmaster at Youngstown, Ohio.
    Mary, the daughter, married a minister and went west.
    Old Sergeant, as Mr. Osborn was known, was a very handy person to have in the community. He followed the business of getting out ship lumber. He moved to the Center late in life and occupied the house next to Sanford's store, now used as a stable He died there many years ago.
