CHRISTIAN J. OTTO
Christian ]. Otto, 81, Garrett coun-
tvs grand old man and best known cit
izen of Garrett county, died last Fri
day morning, February 2, at the home
of his son, Samuel j. Otto, at New
Germany, following an illness of long
duration.
Mr.. Otto, a retirel farmer, was born
November 20, 1848, on the Asa Fresh
farm near Grantsville. He was son
of Jacob and Mary Shelter Otto. His
parents came to this country from
Germany, and were among the early
settlers of Garrett county. He mar
ried Clara Aren't, of Grantsville, Janu-
airy 8. 1874, who died about three years
ago.
Shortly after his marriage Mr.. Otto
purchased a farm at New Germany
where he lived the remainder of his
life. He successfully operated the farm
for many years and was regarded as
one of the best and most prosperous
farmers of the New Germany section.
He sold his farm to his son Samuel j.,
about twenty-seven years ago, but
continued to make his home there.
The ski slope at New Germany,
which is rapidly becoming winter
sports playground for many persons,
= 70,
Mr.. Otto also conducted a general
store and fifty years ago operated one
of the largest sawmills and lumber
yards in Western Maryland.
A staunch Republican, Mr.. Otto for
many years was leader of his party
in Garrett county. At one time he rep
resented the county in the Maryland
General Assembly as member of the
Lower House For more than half
century his advice and support was
sought by Western Maryland Republi-
cans. He maintained his interest in
politics in 1882.
Mr.. Otto served as postmaster at
New Germany for many years, in fact,
until the office was discontinued after
rural routes were established in the
New Germany community.
Mr.. Otto was a member and an elder
in the Reformed church and was SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school at
New Germany for more than fifty
years.
Besides his son, Mr.. Otto is sur
vived by seven daughters, Mrs, Glen
Broadwater, Mrs. William Farris, Miss
Ruth Otto, all of Akron, o.; Mrs, Chas.
Layman, Mrs. Elmer Beachy, Mrs.
Floyd Broadwater, ali of Grantsville,
and Mrs. Austin Broadwater, Of Sal
isbury, Nd, One child preceded him in
death.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday morning from the New Ger
many Reformed church at 1920. Rev
A. M. Wright, pastor of Salisbury, Pa,
officiated, assisted by Rev. D. R. Car
der, Methodist pastor. The church
was filled with relatives and friends.
Pallbearers were Lorraine, Willard
and Odell Otto, Ellsworth and Morris
Beachy and Foster Broadwater, all
grandsons of the deceased. Interment
was in the adjoining cemetery.
Among those attending the funeral
from a distance were Mr.. and Mrs. O.
Broadwater, Mrs. William Farris, Miss
Ruth Otto and Odell Otto, Akron, O.;
Miss Bernice Otto and Mr.. and Mrs.
Nevin Warwick, Baltimore; Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Liller, Oakland; Mr.. and
Mrs. Ralph Doak, Cumberland, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Fresh, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Murphy and Mr. and Mrs
Forrest Robson, Frostburg.
