NameAnna Otto was also known as Anna Mehner.
NoteAnna Otto was the sister of Therisa Amelia Otto. Therisa was Karl ErnstMehner's first wife who died in Saxony, Germany on a trip there in 1910with her husband. Karl married his wife's sister Anna Otto and broughther back to Bremerton, WA., the same year! She was 53 at the time of hermarriage. There is a discrepancy about her birth date: Her death certificate listsit as Nov. 26, 1857; the Lewis Funeral Home of Bremerton 'Record forFuneral' says Nov. 26, 1867. Because her sister Therisa was born in1849, we would assume that the 1857 date on her death certificate iscorrect (eight years, not 18 years apart!.) Mrs. Anna Mehner's death certificate shows that she had been in the USAfor 19 years as of her death in 1929. This corresponds exactly with herlogical arrival in Bremerton after her sister Therisa's death in Germanyin 1910 and her marriage (probably in Mittweida, Saxony in 1910) to KarlErnst Mehner. Her death certificate says that she was a nurse by occupation and thatshe was keeping house for herself at the time of her death. It appears that she had a funeral service on Jan. 9, 1929 (officiated by'Harper'?) It was in the 'Chapel' of probably the Lewis Funeral Home ofBremerton (But could have been in Forks or Port Angeles, WA. She wascremated. 'It seems rather sad that she died that she died in the Woodland Hotel inForks, WA., 'keeping house' at age 71 and that senility was contributoryto her death. Perhaps Rose Miller was proprietress of the hotel and'looked after Anna (or she may have been a relative of the Otto family orothers from Saxony!) Forks was an early, remote logging town on thePacific Coast. The hotel must have been quite primitive in 1929.'- -Nancy Mehner Ruhlman, November, 2000.
BirthShe was born on 26 November 1857, in Saxony, GermanyG.
MarriageShe married Karl Ernst Mehner son of Christian Gottlieb Mehner and Kristlane Wilhelmine Arnold, in Probably in Mittweida, Saxony, GermanyG.
DeathAnna Otto died on 4 January 1929 in Forks, Clallam County, Washington, USAG.
BurialShe was buried on 6 January 1929 in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, USAG.
