Mary Ellen Williams Osborne

Mary Ellen Williams married Richard Osborne and raised five children in the Pewamo–Hubbardston area. Her maiden name, Williams, connects to one of Hubbardston's established Irish-Catholic families. Daniel Williams (1841–1924) and Ellen McHale Williams (1851–1888) are buried at St. John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery, and Theodore J. Williams (1875–1945) is also interred there — evidence of a Williams line with roots stretching back to the 19th-century Irish settlement era. Through her marriage, Mary Ellen bridged the deep-rooted Williams family and the Osborne name in the community.
