In 1889, his father, Lars, filed on a homestead in the Viking, ND community and shortly thereafter the family joined him to make a new home on the prairie.

Otto worked his father's farm until he was married to Petronella Ovidia Langlie on 13 Aug 1911 in the Viking Church. Shortly afterwards they moved to Heimdal, ND where he took his 2 horses and began a dray business and then finally opened a butcher shop. About 1925 they moved to Manfred, ND where he managed a grain elevator until the depression hit and all grain elevators were closed. From there the family moved to Barnesville, MN seeking employment and after 10 months they moved to Nome, ND where he had a butcher shop. This was in 1935 and the depression was still being felt and the shop closed. Because of his wife's illness they moved to Valley City, ND to be closer to a hospital. They resided here until 1943. After that they moved to Portland, OR where he worked in the shipyards.
They built a home there and lived there until his sudden death of a heart attack in Feb 1962.
