Osborne Augustus Lochrane

Osborne Augustus Lochrane (August 22, 1829 – June 17, 1887) was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1871 to 1872. His portrait is in the collection of the Digital Library of Georgia.[1] A biological sketch of Lochrane was included in The Green Bag.[2] He ruled on issues of conscription during the secession era. He is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta where a tall monument marks his gravesite.

Lochrane was born in Ireland and immigrated to the United States. He married twice and had five children. He was noted for his oratory.[3] After returning to private practice, he was general counsel for the Pullman Sleeping Car Company. Judge Lochrane owned F.H. Fyall, a slave born to a white father and a French woman of mixed heritage who was later elected to the Georgia Assembly during the Reconstruction Era (one of the Original 33).
