Obit

Mehitabel's obituary was published in the The Saints' Herald on 1880:

Otto -- James, Otto, born in Pennsylvania, December 4th, 1796, died at Wheeler's Grove, Pottawattamie county, Iowa, March 3rd, 1869. He united with the Church at the June conference of 1863, under the hands of Wm. II. Kelley. He lived a consistent life, and died full in the faith.

Otto -- Mahettable Otto, born in Ulster county, Delaware, July 2d, 1803. She united with the Church some time in May, 1844, under the hands of Simeon Carter, in Franklin county, Ohio; died May 17th, 1880, at Wheeler's Grove, Pottawattamie county, Iowa. Funeral service by Elder D. Hougas. A large number of neighbors and friends followed her to her resting place to see for the last time the face of one who was so near to them. In her death the Church loses one of its most faithful members and untiring workers, and the people of her place a never-to-be-forgotten friend. She leaves a large family of children and grand children to mourn her loss; not only her own family, but a large circle of friends, to whom she has been a never failing help in all times of sickness and distress, will miss her loving ministrations. The whole of her life was devoted to the good of others. Her cheerfulness, her acts of kindness, her charity, and her unshaken faith in God, will be long remembered by all who knew and loved her. She died strong in the belief of the latter-day work, and bore a faithful testimony to the last.

"Dearest mother, how we'll miss thee,
In our sorrows and our cares!
With thy helping hand and counsel,
We could all our trouble bear.
But tis God who hath bereft us,
An we say, "Thy will be done.--
He hath called thee to thy mansion
Which thy faithfulness has won."¹³

She died on 17 May 1880 at Wheeler's Grove, Pottawattamie, Iowa, at age 76.¹⁴
