Obituary of Late Mrs. August Otto 1842-1922

Octogenarian Passed Away at Home of Daughter
On Tenth Inst.

The late Mrs. Otto, of whose demise brief mention was made last week, 
was a native of Germany. Her maiden name was Emilie Tews and she was 
born in Pommern, October 15, 1842. She came to this country at the age 
of 28 years, coming direct to Henderson. Soon afterwards she became the 
wife of Fred Otto and they settled on a farm near Henderson. Two daughters 
were born to them; her husband departed this life March 23, 1910. Since 
the demise of her husband she has resided with her daughter Mrs. W. F. 
Wigand. She had reached the age of 79 years, 9 months and 25 days. She 
is survived by two daughters, seven stepchildren, 26 grandchildren and 
many other relatives.

The deceased was a kind, Christian woman and was held in high esteem by 
a wide circle of friends here and elsewhere who join with us in extending 
sympathy to the bereaved.
