William Ottenad, president and owner of the Ottenad Furniture Co., was in the office at the rear of the store when it collapsed. He was instantly killed. His family consists of his wife and seven children, ranging in age from one week to eight years. Mrs. Ottenad is very low, indeed, and her death is shortly looked for from grief. The deceased left no estate, his all being in the furniture he had in stock.
However, ten days ago Mr. Ottenad, a merchant in Frenchtown, took out a tornado policy on his store. His family will receive $1,700 in tornado insurance.
The large furniture store at Soulard and Broadway, was completely destroyed. Ottenad, his wife, a clerk, and a driver were buried in tile wreck, which is possibly the most complete one in the city. The building was a four-story one and nothing but a heap of broken timber and its mantled stone and brick marks the spot.
