DR. CHARLES OTIS DEAD
Esteemed and Respected Citizen Has Gone to His Reward.
After weeks of intense suffering Dr. Charles Otis died early Wednesday morning, November 18th, shortly after 4 o'clock. Death brought the relief to the gentleman which all medical science and solicitation could not grant him, and while relatives and friends mourn for him, still they feel the blessedness of the peace that is his.
Dr. Otis became ill last March and was advised to enter a hospital for treatment. A cancer of the leg was discovered which had never been apparent. During two periods at the hospital he was operated on four times. Since August 27th he has been at home, helpless and in great pain. The long strain was almost beyond endurance, but the doctor was heroic in sufferance.
May 31st, 1841, Dr. Otis was born on the old Otis farm at Barrington Center, son of the late William and Lavina Edmonds Otis. He was one of seven boys and there was one sister. His boyhood was passed in the country and his education received at district schools.
In early young manhood he enlisted for service in the civil war, going from Batavia, where he was working, to Chicago and joined Taylor's first Illinois battery. For four years he was in active fighting, participating in many of the biggest battles, but was never wounded.
After the war he worked in Chicago as bookkeeper and then as a dental assistant, where he gained the practical knowledge of dentistry that he practiced for many years here, having received a state license giving him the title of doctor.
In 1872 he came to Barrington and on November 26th, 1873, was married to Miss Anna Dearlove who was raised here and has always lived in the present Otis home on Lake street. They were parents of four children, all living, who are Mrs. Albert Robertson and Mrs. William Cannon of Barrington, George Otis of Chicago and Mrs. John Arnold of Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. Eliza Sprague of Elgin; Jefferson Otis of Forest City, Iowa; George Otis of Chicago; Jerome Otis of Winnemucca, Nevada and Eugene Otis of Batavia, are brothers and a sister living.
Dr. Otis was member of the local G. A. R., having transferred to this post from George H. Thomas post, Chicago, about a year ago; also a member of Lounsbury lodge, A. F. and A. M., Barrington.
The funeral will be Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the home. Members of Taylor's battery, Chicago, and the Masonic lodge will conduct the service.
