I am brand new to Ancestry.com and would love to get any information that you may have on the Holts. Otto married Marie Lowry of Madisonville and they had three children. My father Calvin Lowry (ostensibly named after Calvin Davis), Blanche Holt Black and Betty Holt Lingenfelter. Otto died at a University of Tennesse game (9/30/61, which was written up extensively in the Maryville Times and Knoxville News Sentinel according to my dad. Chester (I knew him as Uncle Chet) moved to Norfolk Va, as did Gertrude. His widow, Janie, still lives in the area as do his children. I believe that Gertrude was one of the founders of Stewart sandwiches (it was a big company in the '60s). She and another woman started it by fixing sandwiches early in the morning and taking them to the shipbuilding yards to sell to the workers during WWII.
