JESSE M. OTT, who for many years has been one of the forceful and honore d factors in business circles in Petersburg and one whose influence has n ot been a minor element in public affairs, has attained prominence throug h the inherent force of his character and exercise of his native talent a nd the utilization of surrounding opportunities. He has won notable succe ss in business, yet it is not this alone that entitles him to rank as on e of the foremost men of his day in Menard county. His connection with th e public interests of his city has been far-reaching and beneficial for h e has aided in shaping the municipal policy development of this portion o f the state. His patriotic citizenship and his interest in community affa irs has taken tangible form in his zealous laborers for the improvement s instituted through aldermanic measures. He is now serving for the fourt h term as mayor of Petersburg, having been elected for a fourth time in 1 903.

Mr. Ott was born in Petersburg township, Menard county, on the 29th of Ma rch, 1855, and is a son of Nimrod Ott, a native of Louisville, Kentucky . The family is of German lineage and the grandfather was born in Germany . The founder of the family in America was the great-grandfather of Mr. O tt, who on crossing the Atlantic established his home in Kentucky at th e time General Boone was making his explorations in that state. Mr. Ott t here carried on farming in pioneer times and the grandfather, who also be came a farmer, spent his entire life in the Blue Grass state. Nimrod Ot t and his brother's, however, removed to Indiana, locating in Harrison Co unty, where some branches of the family are still found. Nimrod Ott wa s a blacksmith by trade and in 1849 he removed from Indiana to Illinois , locating on a farm five miles west of Petersburg, where he engaged in f arming, having a valuable tract of land there of two hundred and fifty ac res, upon which he made his home until 1868, when he sold that property a nd took up his abode in the county seat in order that he might afford hi s children better educational opportunities. His death occurred in Peters burg in 1895. He married Miss Perlina Gum, also a native of Kentucky, an d they had eight children.

Jesse M. Ott, the youngest, acquired his education in the public school s of Petersburg and after putting aside his text-books engaged in clerkin g in a drug store for two years. He then turned his attention to teachin g in the public schools, which profession he followed for seven years an d the periods of vacation during that time were devoted to employment i n a drug store. In 1883 he entered the insurance field, in which he has s ince continued and has built up an extensive clientage, representing a la rge number of the leading insurance companies of the country. In 1885 h e also extended the field of his labor by becoming connected with the coa l trade and has since conducted business along this dual line .

Mr. Ott has been particularly prominent in community affairs in Petersbur g and is a recognized leader in the ranks of the Democratic party. Whethe r in or out of office he has labored earnestly and effectively for the pr omotion of the general welfare. He was elected police magistrate and hel d the office for eight years, when in 1891 he was chosen mayor of the cit y by popular suffrage. He served at that time by re-election for three co nsecutive terms and retired from office as he had entered it, with the co nfidence and good will of all concerned. Again he was chosen mayor in 190 3 and is now holding the position. His previous service was a guarantee o f the business-like and progressive administration and in the substantia l improvement and progress of Petersburg are seen many evidences of the c o-operation and active support of Mr. Ott .

On the 18th of August, 1877, occurred the marriage of Mr. Ott and Miss Em ma Crawford, who was born in Menard county, was a daughter of Thomas an d Elizabeth Crawford, and died on the 16th of August, 1898. They had fou r children: Lester B., who is now bookkeeper in the First National Bank , of Petersburg; Lyman E., a resident of Minnesota; Nona P., who is now i n the office with her father; and Jesse A., deceased. On the 10th of Octo ber 1899, Mr. Ott was again married, his second union being with Miss Emm a Woldridge, also a native of Menard county, whose parents, Richard and A .M. Woldridge, are now residing in Petersburg. They have one child, Mario n A.

Mr. Ott has passed through all of the chairs of the Knights of Pythias lo dge and is also a member of the Modern Woodmen camp at Petersburg. He own s a fine residence in this city and also valuable real estate on the sout h side of the public square and farm property in Menard county. Enterin g upon his business career without friends or advantageous circumstance s to aid him he has placed his dependence upon indefatigable energy and l abor, which are the sure and safe foundation of all prosperity and to-da y he is accounted one of the substantial as well as one of the most influ ential and representative men of Petersburg .

Malachi OTT was born on 27 June 1813 in ,Rockcastle,Kentucky. He died on 16 May 1898 at the age of 84 in Mifflin, IN Per Eastridge County Death. He was buried in Mifflin Cemetery, Crawford County, Indiana. Union township organized one school district and located the site for a b uilding in section one, township three south, range one west (by Grantsbu rg). On October 22, 1853, Robert DENBO sold the site for the house to th e trustee. This was known as the Grantsburg school.<file:///C:/ANN%27S/We bfiles/American%20Local%20History%20Network/IN_Counties/Crawford-Co-IN.ht m> The superintendent's report for 1853 states there were 260 pupils in U nion township at that time. The next year, in 1854, Malachi OTT (a farmer , born about 1814, in Kentucky, per the 1860 Census) sold the trustee a s ite for a house near present-day West Fork, in section 29, township thre e south, range one west. Later this school-house was relocated near to Mi fflin.<file:///C:/ANN%27S/Webfiles/American%20Local%20History%20Network/I N_Counties/Crawford-Co-IN.htm> By 1855, Union township had added 3 new sc hool-houses. That year schools were reported to have been attended by 16 1 boys and 144 girls, and there were 3 male teachers with a salary of $18 . By 1856, all five school-houses were apparently functioning, the numbe r of teachers (men) had been increased to 5 and there were 340 students i n Union township. By 1859, Union township had 6 log school-houses and 2 f rame-style structures. Strangely, the 1860 U. S. Census for Union Townshi p did not identify a single person with the occupation of teacher. A ne w Constitution was adopted and the trustees were empowered by law to lev y taxes and build school-houses, and by 1865 each township had enough sch ools to provide suitable room for all the pupils. However, when the edito r of the Indiana School Journal visited Crawford County, in 1865, he repo rtedly found the schools in a poor condition .
