Your question "I am wondering where in Seattle a Rev. Otto R. Karlstrom might be buried?..." I don't have the answer to your question, but here is some info that might help you find it... A Rev. Otto R. Karlstorm founded the Lutheran Compass Center- a homeless mission in 1920. He was from Sweden and married to Alva. If this sounds like your person of interest, the Compass Center may be able to provide more information for you. They are still going strong in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle. Here is the web link: http://www.compasscenter.org/about_legacy.html Good luck! --Jan

I am wondering where in Seattle a Rev. Otto R. Karlstrom might be buried? Is there a Lutheran cemetery I should search? I believe he was a resident of West Seattle. Is there a cemetery in West Seattle that might hold a few Lutherans? I am not certain of his date of death..possibly late 1940 early 1950? Thanks!

I think the one for John is only a death notice and not an obituary so it's not worth the price. See message below on how to contact the State Library. Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 17:12:59 -0700 From: "Muller, Heather" To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com Just to let you know, the Washington State Library does free obituary and/or birth announcement look ups from any newspaper we carry. We'll need a death/birth date or a close approximation (we have the Washington State death index we can check). You can search our catalog from http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ You can request an obit through email at: askalibrarian@secstate.wa.gov Or several other ways to contact us are located online at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx You can also request any newspaper microfilm from your local library using interlibrary loan. We loan up to 10 reels at a time. Birth and death certificates (for 1907-present) are available from the Department of Health, Center for Health Statistics: http://www.doh.wa.gov/EHSPHL/CHS/cert.htm Before 1907, you can check with the appropriate Washington State Archive Regional Branch http://www.secstate.wa.gov/archives/ The State Library has a death index for Washington for 1907-2000 but 1907-1919 for births. State Archives has a birth index through 1929 (our copy is on order along with pre-1907 birth and death records). Your local Family History Center has some birth and death certificates microfilmed as well. They won't have an official certified copy with a seal but they'll be a lot cheaper! The Health Department charges $17 a copy. To locate a Family History Center near you, visit: http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Just let me know if you need anything.
