Oscar (Ossie) Anderson, 94, of Alta, formerly of Rembrandt, died Saturday, June 22, 2002, at the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake.
Oscar Gustaf Anderson was born January 3, 1908, the fourth of thirteen children, to Carl and Christine (Englund) Anderson of rural Albert City. He was baptized May 4, 1908, and confirmed May 20, 1923, in the Lutheran Church in Albert City. He attended a country school across the road from his home until grade eight. He began working on the home place after that and worked on neighboring farms. He was employed by Thieman Harvester Company for four years and drove a grocery truck for three years.
Ossie married Alice Marguerite Bertness of Rembrandt on July 21, 1934, at the Sioux Valley Lutheran Church. They lived for several years in the tenant house on the Bertness home place located 1/4 mile north of Rembrandt. In 1939, they moved to a farm in rural Sioux Rapids located on the corner of highways 71 and 10. In 1952 they returned to the home farm place near Rembrandt, living there until Ossie's retirement in 1973 when they moved to Rembrandt.
Ossie was a farmer and father of two daughters, Judy and Jeanette. He was a faithful member of the Little Sioux Valley and Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Rembrandt. He served as an ASCS Committeeman for more than ten years, was involved with the Buena Vista County Historical Society, served on many church boards over the years, and volunteered in the community of Rembrandt, especially at the ball park.
