WILLIAM S. OTTO.

Special to the Tribune.
  Osterburg, February 27. - William S. Otto died at his home in St. 
Clairsville on Wednesday, aged about 66 years.  He was a carpenter and 
followed his occupation in Altoona, where he was stricken with 
paralysis on March 20, 1918.  He was removed to his home and was an 
invalid ever since.  Mr. Otto was a consistent member of the Lutheran 
church; also a member of the Odd Fellows.  He is survived by his wife, 
Clara, who was a daughter of the late Judge Nelson.  He is also 
survived by three children to his first marriage - Harry and Mrs. Belle 
Horn, of Schellsburg, and Miss Anna, of Windber.  Three brothers and 
one sister survive, as follows: Albert and Harry, of Osterburg; Wilson, 
of Altoona, and Mrs. Hettie Berkhimer, of Salemville.  The funeral will 
take place tomorrow morning, with services conducted at his late home 
in St. Clairsville by his pastor, Rev. Middlesworth, after which the 
cortege will proceed to Fishertown, where interment will be made in the 
cemetery at that place.
