Oscar was born on a farm in the Marion, North Dakota area, the second of nine children born to William and Oline (Olson) Erickson. The family moved to the Adrian area, and then later to a farm near Ypsilanti where he resided for most of the rest of his life. He attended school in Homer Township, graduating from the eighth grade. His life was filled with farming from a young age, except when he was playing baseball. He played first base for the Homer Township baseball team for a number of years. Throughout his adult life he was an avid Minnesota Twins fan, often using the radio to combine farming with Twins games. Oscar enlisted in the US Marine Corps on July 21, 1942.

He was discharged from the Marines with a rank of Tech Sergeant on November 9, 1945. On September 19, 1958 Oscar married Erma Derheim in Jamestown, North Dakota. They worked on the family farm until Oscar retired in the mid 1990s. Even then, he continued to raise cattle lest he find too much free time on his hands.
