     Mavis Ida Otto was born on July 31, 1925 in the Town of Beaver, rural Loyal, WI, the daughter of George and Mathilda (Dallmann) Otto.  She was raised on the family farm and received her education in the Loyal area, graduating from Loyal High School in 1943. After high school, Mavis moved to Milwaukee where she worked for a short time before returning to Loyal. She was united in marriage to Allen L.

She continued to live on the farm until shortly before her death.
