Fehlhaber, Otto G. (12 May 1872 - 19??)

Otto G. Gehlhaber, a well known financier of Marathon County, Wis., who has been secretary of the Wisconsin Valley Trust Company, at Wausau, Wis., for the past four and one-half years, had previously had bank connections and is experienced along this line. He was born in Marathon County, May 12, 1872, and is a son of August and Amelia (Plisch) Fehlhaber.

Otto G. Fehlhaber was reared in his native county and was educated in the country schools and the Wausau High School, after which he taught school very acceptably for three years, during which period he enlarged his circle of friends in the county and cemented friendships that have continued ever since. He then accepted a clerkship in the office of the county judge and also was clerk in the land office under Judge Marchetti and from that connection entered the office of Mylrea, Marchetti & Bird, attorneys, where he pursued law studies but has never asked admittance to the bar although well qualified, his subsequent interests and activities lying in another direction. For four and one-half years he was cashier of the bank at Edgar, Wis., and then came to the Wisconsin Valley Trust Company.

Mr. Fehlhaber married Miss Elizabeth Mehl, of Wausau, Wis., and they have two children: Esther and Orville. He is identified fraternally with the Knights of Pythias and socially with the Wausau Club.
