Frederick Dewey
Osborne
Baker City, 1936-2017
“I am in
love with this
world... I
have tilled its
soil, I have
gathered its
harvest, I
have waited
Fred
upon its sea- Osborne
sons, and al-
ways have I reaped what I
have sown. I have climbed
its mountains, roamed its
forests, sailed its waters,
crossed its deserts, felt
the sting of its frosts, the
oppression of its heats, the
drench of its rains, the fury
of its winds, and always
have beauty and joy waited
upon my goings and com-
ings.” —John Burroughs,
The Summit of the Years
Frederick “Fred”
Dewey Osborne of Baker
City died June 21, 2017,
11 months after losing his
wife of 47 years, Waleska
“Willie” Ruth Williams.
Per Fred’s wishes, there
will be an internment only
on July 2 at Mt. Hope
Cemetery in Baker City
where he will be laid to
rest with his wife.
Fred was born in Pueblo,
Colorado on December
20, 1936 to Cecil Freeman
Osborne and Buena Dewey
Osborne. Cecil was a well-
known figure in Pueblo
as a reporter/editor for the
Pueblo Chieftain and Star
Journal. Fred’s earliest
memories were of World
War II and of the black-
outs, rationing sugar, gaso-
line, tires, and many other
things. Helping with events
such as scrap metal drives;
and going weekly with
his dad, Cecil, to buy War
Bonds to help America win
the war. It was drilled into
Fred’s head that America
must win this war. Money
was always scarce when
he was growing up, but
there was always money to
buy what the family really
needed and often what they
wanted. Thrift was a way
of life to the family, and
every nickel mattered.
In 1939, Fred’s only
sibling was born, Carolyn
Jean Osborne. Fred had a
happy childhood with his
younger sister playing in
their North Grand Avenue
home. He went to Somer-
lid Grade School, Cen-
tennial High School, and
was a member of the First
Baptist Church of Pueblo.
He went to Colorado State
University and graduated
with a degree in Range
Management.
Fred had a love of the
outdoors and much of his
life shows this. While still
in high school, Fred and a
buddy went on a several
day horseback trip up in
the Silverton Mountains
in southwestern Colorado.
They had quite an adven-
ture and sure were hungry
when they got back home.
Fred had one of the few
four-wheel drive vehicles
of the time and as time
passed one of his passions
was exploring four-wheel
drive roads.
Family vacations were
often fishing trips for
mountain trout, although
occasional trips to visit
relatives in places like
Tucson and Salt Lake City
were also interspersed.
Fred and his dad enjoyed
hunting trips together.
They hunted both big game
like deer, elk, and antelope,
and birds such as duck,
geese, grouse, and pheas-
ant. Thus Fred had a well-
rounded childhood. He
spent a summer in Alaska
counting fish for the
government and did a tour
in the U.S. Army National
Guard in San Francisco,
then considered his future.
In 1961 he ended up tak-
ing a job with the Bureau
of Land Management in
Oregon. Fred retired after
more than 40 years of
working for the BLM in
Vale, Prineville and Baker
City, Oregon.
His sister married Fred’s
best friend, Ray Fosdick,
who shared Fred’s love of
the outdoors and hunting
and guns. A friend once
observed that Fred and
Ray could conduct a whole
conversation without
saying any nouns except
numbers indicating guns,
bullets, range statistics,
and the like.
The poem at the start of
this obituary so memorial-
izes Fred’s life that it is
included in this obituary.
It says more about what
Fred’s life was than a thou-
sand other words. Rest in
peace, Fred. From your
sister, Carol—I love you.
Fred is survived by his
sister Carol and her hus-
band Ray of Dove Creek,
Colorado, their children
and grandchildren. Fred
and Willie are survived
by their children Nathan
Osborne of Baker City and
wife Teri, daughter Shanna
Golden of North Powder
and husband Ted, and
son William Osborne of
Grants, NM. They are also
survived by six grand-
children and three great
grandchildren.
Fred was preceded in
death by his parents Cecil
and Buena.
Memorial contributions
can be made to the Na-
tional Rifle Association or
the Elks Lodge #338 Baker
City both of which he was
a lifelong member through
Gray’s West & Company,
1500 Dewey Ave., Baker
City, OR 97814.
