At the age of 5, he moved with his parents and grandparents to Isabel, Barber County, KS.
On Jan. 15, 1902, he married Emma Christina 'Tina' Miller (1878-1965). She was born on Nov. 19, 1878. They had one son, Harry White.
A farmer, Otis and his uncle Layton White spent three years in New Mexico, from 1915 to 1918.
Three years after returning to Isabel, at age 42, Otis suffered a stroke while shelling corn. He died within a few months, on June 28, 1921, "after losing control of his left side and becoming completely blind."
Tina later moved to Pratt, KS, where she died on June 4, 1965. She is buried at Isabel.
