He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters Leona Martin and Anetta Henry and brother John Osterbur.

Ernest farmed his whole life including the land that had been in his family for over 100 years. He was an active member of the Champaign County Farm Bureau.

He was a lifelong member of St. John Lutheran Church, Royal and was active in many of its activities including singing in the choir for many years, teaching Sunday School, and acting as Sunday School superintendent.

Ernest and his wife Irene were very interested in genealogy and spent time in their later years researching their family history. A highlight of their retirement years was taking two trips to Germany to meet distant relatives and visit the birthplaces of some ancestors. In 1995 they helped compile an exhibit on Champaign County settlers from Ostfriesland for the Museum of the Grand Prairie in Mahomet. In his later years, Ernest became the source for family history for many in the Royal/Flatville area.
