Otto Quast (84566878)
OTTO QUAST, DAIRYMAN OF BITTER ROOT, DIES
Otto Quast, aged 61 years, one of the best known dairymen of Montana, a resident of Corvallis and a Montanan for nearly 50 years, died at a local hospital Tuesday night. His death followed a year of failing health. A year ago he spent some time in a hospital here, and was brought to a hospital again from his home at Corvallis Monday.
Mr. Quast came to Montana in 1887, when he brought a load of baled hay from the Mouse River country of North Dakota, 125 miles to Fort Buford, during the construction of the Great Northern railroad line.
He came to Missoula in 1889 and located in the Rattlesnake district where he was employed on the dairy ranch of Pete Fedderson. After a few years, he engaged in the dairy business for himself on the east side of the Rattlesnake valley and operated the business until 1915 when he went to the Bitter Root valley and purchased the Summers ranch near Corvallis, which he developed into one of the substantial dairy ranches of the state, and where he maintained a herd of about 150 Holstein cattle. He also maintained a herd of Hereford beef cattle.
Mr. Quast was one of the best known and most substantial ranchers of the Western Montana district and was prominently identified with the affairs of the Bitter Root valley during his 16 years of residence there.
He is survived by his wife and seven children. They are Harry and Otto Quast Jr, sons on the ranch at Corvallis, and five daughters, Mrs. F.O. Burrell, Woodside; Mrs. Ray Morris, Corvallis; Miss Emma Quast, Corvallis, Miss Cora Quast, a vocalist now in concert work in New York City, and another daughter in the West.
The body is at the Lucy chapel. Funeral arrangements have not been made.
