Wanda C. Brownsworth, better known as "Nan" to her family, was born January 8, 1909, at Chamberlain, South Dakota, the daughter of Fred and Nell (Mullen) Brownsworth.  She was the first white child born to a family from Belvidere.

Nan grew up in Belvidere and received her education in that community.

She was united in marriage to Wilder R. "Hi" Osborn on May 19, 1925, at Philip.

They made their home in Norris, where they operated a Standard Oil Bulk Agency until moving to Phili in 1936.  While in Philip, they operated the Standard Oil Bulk Agency until 1942, when they moved to a ranch south of Belvidere, which they owned and operated.

After her husband, Hi's death on March 30, 1988, she continued to live on the ranch.  In 1993 she moved into the Kadoka Care Center.
