I'm looking for an obit for Oscar Stromberg who lived in Wheatfield and died July 1978. I know it isn't much information! Also I'd like to know where he's buried and if he had a family. He was born in Sweden 20 Sept 1891. I'd sure appreciate any help that anyone can give me.

Thanks

I have found Oscar in the Funeral home records of Jasper Co. Jackson funeral home did the burial, the DeMotte branch, or wheatfield, not sure....
here it is
Stromberg, Oscar P
b. 20 sep 1891, Stockholm Sweden
d. 31 jul 1978 in Jasper Co.
Sp. Mabel Johnson
no children listed
Buried Wheatfield Cemetery.
If you can find the Jackson Funeral home branch up there, not sure again if DeMotte or Wheatfield, they might have an obit. Good luck
Lori
