Otto was of Danish stock. His parents both arrived here from Denmark a few years before he was born. He grew up in Nebraska. Otto married Grace Fuller at the age of 27. They did not have any children. He was very close to Grace's children from her first marriage. He was also adored by his nieces and nephews. My mother was one of these.

Otto was greatly loved by all that knew him. He briefly worked as a butcher. Mostly he was a farmer like his dad. He was known as the Potato King for the potatos he grew and sold. He sold many to hotels in places like Omaha.
He loved to wrestle. I have been told he was lots of fun. A great marksman and could really handle a sling shot.

Uncle Otto knew the Indian language of the Oglala Sioux that lived in the area well and could speak it. He was so tall that they had to send away for a special coffin to bury him in.
