John Ott.
Our in the Lord deceased brother-
John Ott-was the son of Jobann Lud-
wig Ott and Johanna, nee gcbaufele.
He was born July 3rd. i864 in Gundle-
bacb, Wurttemburg, Germany. In
tbe year 1681 he came to Detroit,
Micb. witb hie parents and brothers
and sisters. In 1883, sfter his moth,
er's dsatb be and bis brother Jacob
came to this vicinity and worked in a
lumber camp for 2 years. As tbe
camp owner conld not pay his wages
In money, tbe land on which tbey

In 18S5 they cut down the first trees
for a log bouse and barn in the midst
of thick timber-witbont a team-fighting mosquitoes wbile at work.
Tbey had no road, no neigbbers,
living a pioneer life in tbe fuileat
sense of tbe word. .
A bappy day came to bim wben in
the year 1889 at tbe age of 25, bis now
mourning widow, Anna, nee Ross became nis bslpmete for life. Sbe bas

and sorrow.
Some losses tbat threatened to mar
tbeir joy were the following: One
day their 18 year old hopeful daughter, Eleonora was brought to tbeir
bome in a coffin. Tbeir grief was
deep. Once more deatb entered tbeir
bome and claimed a n 8 year o 1 d
daaghter as its victim. Sbe bad been
the sunshine of ua ali. The deceseed
was occupied witb ber tbe last day of
his life s journey- ere be left. I'bey
were bowever comforted over tbis
loss by tbeir 3 daughters two sons,
one daughter-in law and one grandson thru tbeir untiring, faithful,
sacrificing service during tbe long
daye of illness of tbem botb. God's
promise upon-'*honoring father snd
mother" shall follow tbem.
Tbe Scripture verse as memorandum of bis confirmation bas come
true to tbe deceased. Psalm 40:8 "I
delight to do Tby will, Ob my God;
yea Tbv law witbin my heart."
He was not oi iy a ioylug hasbasd

to tbe word of God and utilized time

Quietly be followed bis life's duties,
quietly be bore bis suffering, even
wben bis sight failed bim and be
