Ottmar Bader was born 16 Nov 1861 in Lauf, a community in the district of Ortenau in Western Baden-Württemberg, Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1886.
The story passed down through the family is that Ottmar "Otto" Bader is the illegitimate son of Regina Bader and Antone Stricht. Regina was a housekeeper for the Antone Stricht family. They were never married as Antone was already married and had a family.
Otto immigrated from Germany at the age of 26 in 1887. He had served 2 years in the German Army which was compulsory for every German man at that time. He came to America to escape serving any more in the German Army.
Ottmar was united in marriage to Anna Maier, also from Germany. They were the parents of four children:
1. Henry born 1888 married Minnie E. Nesselhof
2. Regina born 1891 married George Henry Bruner
3. Adelhite (Adella) born 1893 married George W. Reed
4. Karlene "Caroline" Colleen (Babe) born 1896 married Homer B. Gray

Anna passed away 29 Jul 1951 from a stroke in Kansas City, Wyandotte, Kansas and was laid to rest next to her husband in Mount Hope Cemetery.
