"Eli Osborne, one of the early settlers, gave his name to Osborne Hollow, a village on the line of the D. & H. railroad, the first to be reached after passing from Fenton to Colesville. Upon the establishment of a sanitarium in the village by Dr. Kilmer the name was changed to Sanitaria Springs. Little is left of the once thriving hamlet. Fred Bacon has a general store and postoffice here, and C. D. Reynolds carries on a grocery. The Standard Oil Company has a pumping station at this point. A school house and a Methodist Episcopal church are the only other public institutions."
