Peter, I grew up in the next town from where the Oheka castle was built. Otto H. Kahn and family were very wealthy and well known on the 'gold coast' (north shore) of Long Island, NY, about 100 years ago. He built Oheka castle in the Woodbury area and I think it is still within the top 3 for largest residences ever built in the US. Long story short, it is now a hotel and a venue for weddings, etc., and still breathtaking. I would say that your Otto C. Kahn is probably part of this family. I would do a 'google' search and see what you can find. I hope this information helps.
