Hi Jim, I will print this out and take a look at what I have to help you, but gotta go check on my mom first. She's in a nursing home and broke her pelvis last week, they are going to get her up today and I don't think she is going to be even slightly happy about it. So be back with you later, all things being equal and the creek don't rise and all that sort of thing.

I saw the following obituary in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch today: "Otto, Alex J., age 93, died Aug 16, 2001, in Knoxville, IA, born in Koeltztown, MO, he lived most of his life in St. Louis. Precede in death by his wife Talida, of 49 years and son, James; he is survived by daughters Jo Ann(Don) McDonagh, Judy (Ken) Schneider, Jacqueline (Peter) Pickard; sister Erma Cooke" Any one interested I can give rest of article. I can't find him anywhere but must be related to Ottos of Maries County somehow. Bob Berg
