WILLIAM CHRIST OTTE

OF the many young farmers in the county who are products of this county none
better known than subject of this sketch, William Christ Otte who is now farming
200 acres of land in Buffalo township. He has been on this land for the past
seven years and as he was born and raised in this county he has learned by
experience the methods that will give the best results under the conditions that
are found in this section of the county. He was born January 30, 1881 and is a
son of William Otte who is mentioned in another part of this book. The elder
Otte is one of the old timers of this county who came here in the early days and
has seen this county grow from almost a barren waste to its present high state
of cultivation. The younger Otte was married to Miss Georgia Miller in 1907. She
is a daughter of Henry Miller who will also be found mentioned in another part
of this book. He also is one of the old timers who had so much to do with the
upbuilding of this county. Mr. and Mrs. Otte are the parents of two children as
follows: Walter who is four years of age and Wilmer who is two years of age.
They occupy a neat residence of four rooms. The barn is 20 by 36 and it and all
the outbuildings are well built and have plenty of room. The home place is
surrounded by a grove of nice shade trees that add greatly to the home-like
appearance of the place and altogether Mr. Otte has one of the most ideal
country homes to be found in that section of the county. It is to such families
as the Ottes and Millers that this county owes its high standing among the best
counties of the State of Kansas and one of the best agricultural sections of the
entire country.
