Some more puzzle pieces: in Stina Kajsa Hägg's 1885 bouppteckning (estate inventory, source: Aspelands häradsrätt FII:45 (1885-1889) Image 90) it states "sonen Otto Karlsson som vistas i Nord Amerika" "son Otto Karlson is living in North America -- so we know that this Otto was somewhere in North America the year after your ancestor married in Iowa.
Also Otto had a brother Bror Alfred (born 23 May 1863 Karlstorp) who was married 17 Dec 1887 to Sofia Lovisa Persdotter (born 19 Mar 1863 Målilla). They had a son Karl Oskar Leonard born 14 Jul 1888 in Karlstorp and then they emigrated to N. America 11 Apr 1889 (source: Karlstorp AI:17 (1887-1891) image 70 / page 55).
According to the 1910 US Census on Ancestry.com there was a Bror A. Carlberg living in Iowa with his wife Sophia. So it appears that Bror Alfred from Karlstorp also used the surname Carlberg after emigrating to Iowa from Sweden.
