Biography
He was born enslaved July 16, 1843 in Madison, Florida.[1][2] He worked as a shoemaker and A.M.E. minister.
On July 27, 1867 Osgood registered as a voter in Madison County having lived in the state for at least 12 months.[3] Osgood was elected to the Florida House in 1868 as a Republican. He was allied to David Montgomery. He resigned in 1873 as a result of a policy that forbade state and county officeholders from also having any federal appointments. In 1874 he ran for speaker of the house, but was defeated by fellow Republican Malachi Martin[4] due to his connection to Montgomery. The Republican Party had divisions between African American Floridians and northerners who relocated from northern states seeking office, derisively termed carpetbaggers.[5]
A Republican he represented Madison and served in 1868 until 1874 and in 1879, 1883, and 1885.[6] He also served in the state senate in 1875 and 1876.[7][8]
In November 1874 he was elected to the Florida State Senate for the 10th senatorial district beating George Franklin Drew.[9] After his term he joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church clergy.[10] He was still active in politics a member of the state central committee in December 1907.[11]
