    Osmond, George, president of the Star Valley Stake of Zion, is the eldest son
    of George Osmond and Nancy Canham, and was born May 23, 1836, in London,
    England. At a very early age he was greatly interested in the subject of
    religion, and was very anxious to learn which of the many sects of professing
    Christians was in possession of the true gospel. In comparing modern
    Christianity with that which was taught by Jesus and His Apostles, there were
    two differences which gave him great concern and thought, namely the absence
    in the modern church of immediate and direct revelation and of the divine
    power and authority of the Priesthood. In February, 1850, he was apprenticed
    to the ship-building trade in the government dock yard at Woolwich, near
    London. In the latter part of that year some of his fellow apprentices were
    converted to the "Mormon" faith, which was then making a great stir in that
    neighborhood. He was induced to attend their meetings and was surprised at
    finding satisfactory answers to his queries as to divine revelation and
    authority. He gladly embraced the faith of the Latter-day Saints and was
    baptized Nov. 27, 1850, by Elder Thomas Bottrell. Early the next spring he was
    ordained a Priest and called to assist in building up a branch of the Church
    in Elsham, a village in Kent, about four miles from Woolwich. He was soon
    after ordained an Elder and labored actively in distributing tracts and
    preaching the gospel in the surrounding villages, during such time as he could
    spare from his daily labor. To his surprise he failed to convert any of his
    relatives to the truth of the gospel; he still remains the only representative
    of his parents' families in the Church. In the fall of 1854 he emigrated to
    New Orleans in the ship "Clara Wheeler," and worked his way up to St. Louis,
    Mo., where he entered the employ of Captain James Eads, the famous engineer.
    In the summer of 1855 he married Georgina Huckvale and crossed the plains to
    Salt Lake City, driving an ox-team for [p.349] Hooper and Williams, merchants,
    and arrived in Salt Lake City after a most tedious and arduous journey of four
    months from the Missouri river. He removed successively to Bountiful, Davis
    county, Willard, Box Elder county, and finally to Bear Lake valley, Idaho, in
    1864. Here he remained until 1892, acting as Bishop of Bloomington for more
    than seven years, and in 1877, at the organization of Bear Lake Stake, he was
    appointed second counselor to President Wm. Budge. In 1884 he was called on a
    mission to England and labored for two years in Liverpool as assistant editor
    of the "Millennial Star." In 1890 he was again called on a mission to Great
    Britain, during which he was successively president of the Scottish conference
    and the London conference. In 1892, immediately after his return home, he was
    called to Star valley, Wyoming, to preside in that Stake which was organized
    Aug. 14, 1892. In civil life he has served for many years as a justice of the
    peace, probate judge, and finally as State senator in the Wyoming legislature
    during the sessions of 1898-99 and 1900-1901.
