(Obituary of Dr. Louis Otto: "Dr. Louis Kinman Otto, 84, of Arlington died Monday, Nov. 30, 2009, at Nye Legacy in Fremont. He was born Oct. 24, 1925, in Ashland, Kan., and he was the beloved only child of Merton and Kathryn Otto. He graduated from Manhattan (Kan.) High School in 1943, and then attended Kansas State University during the fall of 1943 where he lettered his freshman year in football and was a member of the KSU basketball team. In December 1943, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and he served in the 5th Infantry until the spring of 1946. After an honorable discharge, he returned to Kansas State and finished his studies in veterinary medicine. While at Kansas State, he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He married Marilyn Larson on Aug. 15, 1948, in her grandmother’s garden at Wamego, Kan., and was a devoted husband for 61 years. After graduating with his DVM degree in May 1951, he went to work for Drs. Cady and Cady in Arlington. In 1953, he became a partner with Dr. Jack Cady and together they had a successful practice for 28 years. He joined Vigortone Ag Products as a technical service veterinarian where he stayed for 10 years after retiring from private veterinary practice. During this time he also was an advisor and consultant to many livestock growers. Doc (as he was known to many friends and family) was a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association, and he served on many committees within those organizations. He also was appointed to Governor Exon’s Veterinary School Advisory Board and was a member of the Nebraska Board of Veterinary Examiners. As an active member of the Arlington community, he was an involved member of the Arlington Community Church for 60 years, as well as the Arlington Village Board, the American Legion, Arlington Volunteer Firemen, the Arlington Community Club and Arlington Community Foundation Board. In recent years, he volunteered at Low Income Ministry and the Fremont Area Medical Center Foundation Board. Doc also enjoyed taking an active role with the youth of the community. He was a midget baseball coach, a church youth sponsor and supported other programs that were both church and community related. Doc is survived by his wife, Marilyn; daughters, Lynda (and husband, Dennis) Biehl of Lexington and Janet (and husband, Dennis) Warner of Arlington; and son, Daniel (and wife, Melinda) Otto of Lincoln.
