A Belated and Deserving Tribute to my Parents and Family.
Alex and Emilie Brack were married February 20, 1912. They lived a full life centered in and around Otis. Dad was one month short of 60 years; Mother 6 months past 50 years when they left us.

Mother was his back up at home and in church.
(Note: there is a wedding picture of Alex and Emilie inserted into the article).
To this union three children were born and reared in Otis. Oliver R. who married Verna Parker, farmed and worked in business. He put in some 15 years on the elementary school board and also served a term or two on the city council. Alberta married one of the locals, Harry Schneider, who is serving on the city council, volunteer fire department and EMT ambulance service, and in whatever time left, operates the Oil Service Station. Last one is the writer of this family story, Leland A., who married Zelda Maser in 1957 and has been in Otis since World War II helping manage the lumber and grain business, and enjoying his many friends for 40 years of a great time in Otis.
