    Notes 
    • Otto Harris, born August 26, 1887 in Marion, Illinois, was only
      three years old when his mother died.  He and his brother and sister were
      then raised by his mother's sister Mollie Johns.  Otto had black hair and
      blue eyes and, as an adult, was about five feet-six inches tall.
           Otto did not finish high school and, at the age of 21, married
      Hattie Belle Oglesby.  Hattie and Otto had twelve children, three of
      which died when very small.
           Otto and Hattie moved from Marion to Danville, Illinois in the mid
      1910s.  As an adult, Otto made his living as a mail carrier.  Otto and
      Hattie separated in 1949 when Hattie and the two youngest children moved
      to South Bend, Indiana.  The couple divorced the following year.  Otto
      remained in Danville where he died in 1959.
