Howard G. Osgood was born in Franklin County, Massachusetts in Sept. of 1833 and attended Amherst Academy for one year. He studied with a practicing physician, then finished his studies with physicians in Greenfield, MA and by completing a year at the Cincinnati (Ohio) Medical College. He relocated in June 1856 to Bloomington, Indiana, then to Gosport, IN where he worked as a physician for fifty years, initially (1856) in practice with Dr. Young.
