KARL OTTER
HIS LONG EXPECTED DEMISE YESTERDAY
A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
A Prominent and Much Respected Citizen--A Business Man of Unquestionable
Integrity.
KARL OTTER, who has been suffering for some time from diseases of the liver,
died yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at his residence, No. 23 North Third
street. Nothing that his physician, Dr. GOLDMAN, and others could do,
availed.
Mr. OTTER was a native of Cassel, Prussia, where he was born August 29, 1830.
At the age of 19 years he left the home of his father, who was a wealthy
farmer, for California, arriving here April 8, 1850. From here he went to
Yuba on an exciting trip that brought to him many a lingering thought of a
luxurious home.
After mining a while on GOODYEAR'S Bar and prospecting for himself, he
returned to San Francisco penniless. There he engaged in various occupations
and in 1854 he visited Germany, returning in the fall of 1859 to San Jose. He
engaged for a while in the cattle business and in 1860 married BERTHA KNOCHE,
a daughter of WM. KNOCHE of this city. He next was interested in the Santa
Clara brewery, leaving it in 1865. In 1868 he had accumulated a great deal of
wealth and built the three-story brick building on the corner of First and
St. John streets, this city, now known as the "ARGUELLO house." He visited
Germany again in 1870 with his family, remaining five years.
In the early part of 1876 he again arrived in San Jose, vowing never to
forsake his adopted state. His family followed from Europe the next summer,
and from that time until his death he has had the enjoyment of a happy family
circle. His parents, who came here in 1858, died two years later.
The deceased leaves a family consisting of his wife and two children, Mrs.
GUSTAVE MARTIN and H. W. OTTER, who is engaged in the hardware business in
this city. Mrs. M. BROHASKA and Mrs. H. LEIBE are also sisters of the
deceased.
Mr. Otter has held several positions of trust in San Jose, being a councilman
about twenty years ago. He was a prominent member of Almania lodge I. O. O.
F. and also of the Garden City Council of Chosen Friends. He was also a
director of the San Jose Building and Loan Association and for some years
past has been engaged in the fire insurance business.
The funeral will take place tomorrow from the family residence under the
auspices of the Odd Fellows.
