NICHOLAS OTT died at 10 o'clock on Thursday, October 15, at his home, East 
Washington street.  He was born in Fulton county, in 1835, and removed to 
Chambersburg in 1888.  Previous to this he had been a merchant in 
McConnellsburg.  He was a soldier of the war, serving in the 158th and 200th

at Petersburg at the close of the war.  As he entered the fort there he was 
struck several times, one shot taking his cartridge box entirely away.  He was a 
member of the First Lutheran church of this place and of Housum post G. A. R.  
His wife and one daughter, Mrs. Daniel Gilbert, survive him.
