Albra J. Osgood (1853-1924) was born in Durham, Maine, and died in Escondido, California. He was a farmer who wrote to Mary Baker Eddy in early 1885 to ask for information on studying at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. There is no record of him studying at the College or joining The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. In about 1900 he left Durham and moved to Escondido, where he worked as a chicken farmer.
