Osage Cemetery to Hold Annual Meeting Nov. 2

Osage was once a thriving community with three churches, two schools, a cotton gin, store and post office. Its residents made their living as plantation owners, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and teachers. There was even a shoemaker, brick mason, gunsmith, well digger and surgeon living at Osage and the area along Harvey’s Creek. There was an Osage Masonic Lodge and a debating club. However, when the railway was laid out several miles to the south, Osage lost much of its population to Weimar.
This photo of an Osage Camp Meeting on March 15, 1912 is just one of numerous historical photos in A Good Place to Rest: A History of the Osage Community Cemetery and Early Harvey’s Creek Settlers, first printed in 2018 as a fundraiser for the cemetery association.
