Notes
Possible date of death is i915. Headstone says 26 May 1916
Otto died May 1915 at the age of 25. A Kansas City Star article told of Otto’s diease “a distressing case of a “petrified man” at St. Mary’s hospital in Kansas City”. The article was from the previous year since it indicated Otto was then 24. The article indicated his joints had grown together, his jaw was rigid and it was necessary to extract his teeth. He received liquid food. The trouble started with an attack of inflammatory rheumatism when he was 7 and grew worse. Otto was bedridden for the last 8 years. Physicians called the disease septic arthritis.
