Francis Hubert Otto

FRANK AND LOUISE VOSSEN OTTO (1877-1948) "Frank S. Otto was born in December, 1877, and baptized in St. George Church, Linn, Mo., on December 30th. He was the son of Frank (Francis) and Christina Wingrath Otto. The family name "Otto" is from Westfalen Province of Germany. The grandparents would have first lived in the Westphalia, Mo. area before moving to the "flat" area southwest of Linn.

Frank Otto married Louise Vossen (b. 1886) and this family had ten children. (There follows a listing of the children, however the St. George Baptismal records list an eleventh child.)

The parents continued on the farm until their deaths. Frank Otto died at the age of 67 years in 1948. Mrs. Louise Otto, who had been blind for sometime before her death, died in 1962. They are buried in St. George Cemetery at Linn, Mo. Today (1988) the farm is owned by Robert Vossen of Linn." EXTRACTED FROM, PAGE 308, SACRED HEART SESQUICENTENNIAL, 1838-1988, RICHFOUNTAIN,, MO.
