January 22, 1975 St. Louis, Missouri "Oscar L. Huber, who gave the last rites of the Catholic Church to President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, died yesterday in Perryville, of a heart attack. He was 81 years old. Father Huber, a Vincentian priest, had been an associate pastor at St. Catherine La-boure Roman Catholic Church, 9740 Sappington Road, in Sappington, until early this month, when he retired to St. Mary's Seminary in Perryville, about 80 miles south of St. Louis. He was pastor of Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church in Dallas on the day of President Kennedy's assassination. Father Huber and another priest were watching television on Nov. 22, 1963, when the bulletin came that President Kennedy had been shot and was being taken to nearby Parkland Memorial. The priests went immediately to the hospital. It was a few minutes before 1 p.m. when Father Huber entered the emergency room. He administered the last rites to the President and offered condolences to Mrs. Kennedy. Father Huber's role that day was detailed in William Manchester's best-selling book, "Death of a President." In later interviews, though, Father Huber disputed much of Manchester's account especially that he had informed reporters that the President was dead. "I answered that I did not know and that they would have to wait for an he said. "I obeyed the request of the Secret Service agent." But Father Huber said he had administered a short form of the last rites to the President, "since he was apparently dead." Father Huber was held in high regard by his parishioners in Sappington, where he came in semi-retirement in 1968. "You never saw him without a smile on his face," recalled Lee J. Prott, an usher at the church and longtime friend of Father Huber. "He would often come in and cheer you up," Prott said. "All the kids loved him. He was the kind of old-time priest that you liked to be around."
Father Huber was a Perry County farmer before entering the Congregation of the Missions, or Vincentians, in 1924. He was ordained in 1931 at St. Mary's Seminary in Perryville and was pastor of the Church of the Assumption there until 1949. He served at parishes in Kansas City and San Antonio, before being transferred to Dallas in 1959.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete but are expected to be Friday at St. Mary's Seminary in Perryville. Burial will be in the Vincentian Cemetery in Perryville.
Surviving are four sisters, Mrs. Lena Schindler, Mrs. Marie Lukefahr, Miss Corrine Huber and Miss Bernice Huber, all of Perryville."
