A requiem Mass was said at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Owen, for Frank Otrin, 84, Monday morning, Feb. 11.  He passed away early Friday morning at the Havenet Nursing Home where he had been a resident since Aug. 14, 1960.

The couple lived at Farmington until 1925, where he was a miner.

In 1925 they settled on a farm in the town of Green Grove (Clark Co., Wis.), which they cleared and farmed prosperously until his retirement several years ago.

Survivors include three sons, Fred of rural Owen, and Albert and Frank Jr., both of Chicago, Ill.; three daughters, Julia Otrin of Eau Claire, Mrs. Walter (Anne) Olzesbeck, Markham, Ill., and Mrs. Fred (Elizabeth) Lulloff, Owen, and nine grandchildren.
