Like his brother, he also worked as a machinist for the U.P. & S.Fr. R.R. (Union Pacific & San Francisco Rail Road). Otho was of medium height and build, with blue eyes and brown hair. He claimed no exemption from the draft, as he was single and had no dependants.

In 1930, Otho was living with his mother in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California. His mother was a widow at that time having lost her husband within the previous year.
