Oscar M. Sather was born March 25, 1896, in rural Cottonwood, Minnesota, to Christian and Ovida (Runholt) Sather. He was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith. Oscar attended school in Cottonwood and at the University of Minnesota School of Agriculture in St. Paul. He farmed in the Cottonwood area his entire life. Oscar passed away at the Weiner Memorial Nursing Home of Marshall, Minnesota, on Saturday, March 21, 1987, at the age of 90. Survivors include a sister, Cora Sather, who lives at the Weiner Memorial Nursing Home, and cousins in both the United States and Norway. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Ella. Blessed be his memory. The Sheaf of Wheat is a symbol of the Christian faith. The seeds of faith are sown in the human personality and grow into the mature faith of the Christian man or woman. The sown seed must lose its life in order that it may develop and grow and multiply. So symbolically, a sheaf of wheat is used by Christians to mark the passing of a fellow Christian. We believe death is not the end but the beginning of life eternal. The mature grain in this sheaf is the direct symbol of the Resurrection--the life beyond the grave, the fulfillment of the Promises of Jesus Christ.
