Gloom and sorrow again entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Husting of this city, when on Tuesday, just before noon, their son Otto L. passed away at about 11 o'clock.
At the time of his death Mr. Husting was special deputy collector in the United States Internal Revenue Department at Milwaukee with an office in the Federal Building. He was appointed to this office in January 1918 by President Wilson.
For about three weeks he had not been feeling and had been taking treatments for heart trouble, attending to his duties however every day. On Tuesday morning when he arrived at his office he complained to his associates that he was not well and was advised to go home. He stated that he would stay until noon when he expected to see his doctor. At 11 o'clock without an outcry of any kind he was seen to fall forward on his desk, he was immediately carried to a couch in the adjoining office and before medical aid could be summoned, death overtook him and he had been called to the great Beyond. With him at the time of his death were his associates R. F. Smithyman and Walter S. Boyd.
Drs. Ogden and Scollard came shortly thereafter and pronounced him dead. At the time of his death he lived at No. 557 Farwell Ave., but his wife happened to be away from home and did not hear of the news of her husband's sudden death until about noon.
Otto Husting was one the best known men of this city. His boyhood days were spent here and when the sad news
circulated here that his final hour had struck the sudden and unexpected news caused deep sorrow within the hearts of all who had known him so well. He was one of those pleasant, kind hearted men whom one likes to meet and that he will be missed by his many friends here is of course self-evident.
Mr. Husting was born in Fond du Lac, November 12th, 1864 but moved to Mayville with his parents during his early boyhood. In later years he was a traveling salesman and while so employed was married to Miss Abbie Costello of Columbus, Neb. For a number of years he resided at Beaver Dam, being secretary of the local fire insurance company. When his brother, the late Sen. Paul O. Husting became U.S. Senator he was appointed as his private secretary. After the tragic death of the U.S. Senator last October, President Wilson appointed him to his present position and we know that he was one of those who served his country well at all times.
Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his death his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Husting, his only sister, Mrs. C. W. Lamoreux, his brothers Berthold J. and Gustav of this city, Max in South Dakota, Leo of Kaukauna, and Bonduel of Fond du Lac.
The funeral will be held here this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of his sister, Mrs. Lamoreux, with interment in Graceland cemetery.
The "News" joins the many friends in extending its heartfelt sympathy to the mourning relatives in their hour of sorrow.
Mayville News August 29, 1918
Tuesday afternoon in the federal building in Milwaukee, where he had been employed as chief clerk in the office of the federal customs collector August M. Gawin since New Years, Otto C. Husting of Mayville was suffering from a heart condition and died suddenly from a heart attack at the young age of only 53 years, eight months and eight days.
He was born November 12, 1864 in Fond du Lac and came to Mayville in 1876 with his parents Mr. & Mrs. John P. Husting, who still live here.
For two weeks he suffered from a heart disease and the doctors had forbidden him from any physical exertion or excitement. On Tuesday, shortly after his arrival in his office, he complained of a slight malaise and at noon declared that he wanted to see his doctor, but declined the offer of his colleagues to have a doctor fetched for him to the federal building. A few minutes later, however, Mr. Husting got so bad that he had to lie down, and before the doctors who had been summoned appeared he was already dead.
On December 18, 1896, he married Miss Abbie Costello of Columbus, Nebraska, and the couple lived in Mayville for years, and he was a leading Democrat in Wisconsin. He ran a shop in Theresa for several years and also lived for a few years in Beaver Dam, where he was the town clerk and secretary of the Beaver Dam Insurance Co. He later moved to Allenton and became the manager of the Farmers Mercantile Company. His parents still live in Mayville, Wis. His surviving siblings are: Max R. Husting of Fargo, North Dakota; Leo Husting of Kaukauna, Wis.; Bonduel L. Husting of Fond du Lac; Gustav B. Husting of Mayville; Berthold J. Husting of Mayville, and Mrs. C. W. Lamoreaux of Mayville.
The Federal Senator Paul O. Husting, who died while hunting last October, was his brother.
His Milwaukee apartment was at 557 Farwell Avenue.
The body arrived in Mayville yesterday morning and burial took place in Graceland Cemetery at 2 p.m. that afternoon.
