Otto was the sixth child to Anders and Ann. Like the other boys he grew in the Scandinavian north woods. His education and religious training followed the pattern of the others. His mother died when he was 6.
In 1878 he immigrated to America with his older brother August who was more a father than a brother to him.
It was fitting that Otto's place was directly across the road from August. They help each other. The close relationship developed along the way continued between them. He was close to his father also. Anders was his next door neighbor to the east. The outcome for Otto could have not been more to his liking. Life was good indeed.
Otto died young. He had a debilitating disease that caused his bones to shrink, his toes to turn up. He was bedfast for sometime. All the brothers came to be with him. It was August who spent a great deal of time by his bed giving what comfort he could to his little brother, the one he loved as a son.
He was buried in the Fairview Cemetery just a little over a mile east of his home next to his brother Fred.
