OSTERMAN RITES AT ARLINGTON
Funeral services were held at Arlington Saturday (July 28, 1942) for Louis H. Osterman, 75, who died Wednesday at Bristol, Colorado. Osterman had made his home in Bristol for the past nine years.
His parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Osterman, were among the earliest pioneers of the Arlington community, coming before the town was founded and when Omaha was only a dugout trading post. He had farmed in the Arlington vicinity before moving to Bristol.
Four sisters and one brother survive: Mrs. B. F. Borlen of Olney, Illinois; Mrs. Lizzie Hansen of Plainview; Frank Osterman of Clarks; Mrs. Matilda Gannon of Pullman, Washington; and Mrs. A. D. Elmer of Manila, Philippine Islands
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. H. VanValkenburgh, who chose as his theme “The Pioneer”. Mrs. Blanche Woods Keller, accompanied by Mrs. Alice Newcom, sang “There’ll Be No Night There” and “Saved by Grace”. Pallbearers were Harry Osterman, Will Osterman, Bern Decker, Ed Luebker, Ed Giesselman and Hubert Hansen. Interment was made in the Hartung cemetery.
