Diana,
I think I found it under another spelling. Osgood, ND was a farm post office between Fargo and Horace in Cass County opened in 1895. It was first called Garfield, but the name was changed in 1899 to Osgood to honor George A. Osgood, a pioneer farmer there who owned a 4,000 acre farm. In 1900 a Northern Pacific depot was built. Twenty people lived there in 1920 even though the post office had been closed in 1911. The Osgood store was moved to the Bonanzaville Museum in West Fargo. Now there is now nothing left of Osgood.
This information is from the North Dakota Place Names book by Douglas A. Wick, page 146.
