Otto A Fuchs

Otto Fuchs was the 10 child born to Charles and Anna Martha (Alborn) Fuchs. Otto also was the one hardest to find information on, he was my fathers closest brother but with him gone and the rest of his family gone,I struggled to find facts on him?

Otto was born July 8, 1902 in Laurens, Iowa. Otto was married to a lady name Loretta (no maiden) very little could be found out on her. My information come from my mother and thing that I remember that my father (Vern) said. Their are story's of Otto and Loretta having a child and that child died at a young age. I can not confirm or deny this story? It is believed that Loretta was from Illinois. Otto spent a lot of time in Illinois when he was younger, or the years that he was working Before he retired.

Otto married Martha Manson after many years of knowing her on November 20, 1969 at the Wesleyan Church in Sand Lake Township, Sawyer Co.,Wisconsin. Otto and Martha lived in what was know as the north woods beach area south of Hayward, Wisconsin on lake Lac Court Oreilles north shore, his address was R#2 Hayward in care of the Foxhole.

Otto was was raised around the roller skating business along with his brothers Carl, Lloyd and his younger Laverne (Vern) Fox. Otto was very successful in the business world. My father say that Otto could be drunk and make a deal with someone and come out smelling like a rose (meaning always on top). He own and Operated the Ing skating rink in Rockford,Illinois and a number of portable staking rinks in Iowa Wisconsin and Illinois area for a number of years. Otto was living in his home in Hayward area when he died July 19, 1973. Otto was well know in the area, Fishing was his hubby of choice.

Otto was cremated and his ashes spread over the lake he lived on in the Hayward,Sawyer Co.,Wisconsin. Otto Obituary says that he was buried after cremation in the Forest Lawn Park in Saint Paul,Minnesota. I do remember the story at the time of his dead that his wishes were to have his ashes spread across the lake Lac Court Oreilles south of Hayward,Wisconsin. At the time it was not legal to spread the remain of anyone over the ground. I was told that his ashes would be spread on the lake? I choose to believe that Otto is in the lake that he loved so much.

Martha Manson Otto wife at the time of his dead was born August 5, 1914 in Illinois. Martha father Victor Manson was born in Sweden Martha mother Emily Peterson was born in Norway. Martha died in Chicago Heights,Cook Co.,Illinois in March of 1975. Martha died from problems with her liver. I believe that she had been with a daughter. from a marriage before meeting and marrying Otto.
