Otto Wiener was born Feb. 12, 1911, on the home farm, near Padua, in Getty Township, Stearns County, to Martin and Rose (Trettle) Wiener. On June 14, 1938, he married Christine Fiedler at Annunciation Catholic Church in Mayhew Lake. The couple farmed near Padua with his family. Since January of 2006 he had resided at St. Michael's Nursing Home in Sauk Centre. Otto never really retired, as he maintained a life-long interest in dairy and grain farming. He had a love of the land, enjoyed farming with his brother, Adolph, and planted many trees. He enjoyed big game hunting for deer, elk, antelope, moose and bear. He also enjoyed trapping, especially pocket gophers. He had an intense desire to learn and enjoyed reading, and was a rock hound that loved agates. Visiting with his family, grandchildren and friends were special times for Otto. As a father and grandfather, he was a man of wisdom and integrity, who loved the Lord and he passed on his gift of faith to his children and grandchildren. He was a member of St. Donatus Catholic Church in Brooten and Bishop Busch Council 4863 Knights of Columbus in Sauk Centre.
