With the death of Elder Oscar C. Karlstrom March 2, Joplin branch lost one of their most able ministers. He had been pastor of the branch of eight years, had done considerable missionary work in the surrounding communities, and had served as counselor and advisor to most of the younger members of the priesthood. He was well liked and his ministerial services were solicited by the entire community; he will be remembered for his deep concern and unselfish service where ever there was those in need of physical or spiritual aid. Elder Amos T. Higden officiated at the funeral March 7, assisted by Apostle McConley and Elder Herman O. Plumb. The body will remain at the Thornhill Dillon Mortuary today and will be taken to the residence at 2215 Maiden Lane, at 9 o'clock Friday morning to lie in state until noon when it will be removed to the church until the time of the service. Burial will be in Osborne Memorial Cemetery.
According to family stories Oscar was very generous. He owned a coal and ice business during the early 1900's and if they could not pay for the coal or ice he would give it to them anyway and tell them to pay when they could. We have been told that the suit he wore when he would be at the pulpit or his ministry duties was worn and shiney from wear. He always found someone else who needed something rather than buying a new suit.
