General Notes: Husband - Dr. Bodo Otto, Jr.

---

He lived at Woodbury, New Jersey, and was a surgeon of the Revolutionary War. During his absence from home, attending to hospital duty, his political antagonists, the Tories, burned his house, and his wife and children, during inclement weather, were driven from home, and all the products of his farm were consumed. The incendiaries were apprehended and convicted. Notwithstanding the calamity in which their acts had plunged him, Dr. Otto took a long ride on horseback to obtain their pardon. Being overtaken by a violent storm on his return, he contracted a severe catarrh, which was soon followed by pulmonary consumption, and he died at the early age of thirty years.
