Otto Roth came to St Louis via New York in 1880 or 1881. He was born October 1855 in Weibersbrunn, Aschaffenburg, Germany. Before coming to the US he served (from all indications unwillingly) in the Army. His parents were possibly Anton and Marianna Roth. In January 1882 he married Anna Sailer daughter of Christian and Anna Barbara Nolte Roth. Ruth Stubbs
