Hazleton Sentinel; Friday, February 4, 1887:
Valentine Otter, blacksmith at the Laurel Hill colliery of A. Pardee & Co., was seriously injured to-day shortly before noon. He was assisting in rolling a piece of a fly wheel, weighing nearly half a ton, in the smithshop, when it fell upon him throwing him to the floor. His right leg and left foot were caught under the heavy weight and severely bruised. He was taken to his home in a company conveyance where Dr. Longshore attended to the injured limbs. There are no bones broken, but the injuries are extremely painful.

'Valentine Otter's Sudden Death'
Valentine Otter, the blacksmith whose serious illness was noted in this paper, died suddenly at the family residence, corner of Second and Church streets at 9:30 last night after being confined to his bed a little more than a week. Death was due to miners' asthma, from which he had suffered for some years but which had not taken a critical turn until about two weeks ago. The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Deceased was born in Germany, on June 23, 1848, and was 53 years of age. On the 26th day of May, 1866, he came to America, settling in this city. A short time after his arrival here he apprenticed himself to Phillip Lindeman and learned the trade of blacksmith, which he followed up to the time of his death, his shop being located on West Walnut street.
On October 30, 1870, he married Anna Catherine Buchenau, sister to Alderman Buchenau. The result of this marriage was the following children: Mrs. John J. Jones, Mary, Kate, Annie, John, Lizzie, Minnie and Willie at home, and Harry, of Philadelphia. His wife also survives, as well as his brother John, of this city, and sisters, Mrs. Bernard Knoth and Mrs. Schade, of this city, and Mrs. Bock, of Jeanesville.
Mr. Otter was one of the city's most respected residents. He was a man of quiet disposition but quickly made friends. He was an active member of the Christ Lutheran church and served for years as elder and later as superintendent of the Sunday school, where his presence will be missed. He was also a member of the Workingmen's Beneficial Union.

'Two Large Funerals'
All that was mortal of the late Valentine Otter, who died suddenly after an illness of but a week's duration, was laid to rest this afternoon in the Vine street cemetery. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock from the family residence at the corner of Church and Second streets was attended by a large number of relatives and friends. The Workingmen's Union, of which the deceased had been a member, and many of the children of the Christ Lutheran Sunday School, of which Mr. Otter had been superintendent for some years, followed the remains to their last resting place. Services were conducted by Rev. J. O. Schlenker in the Christ Lutheran church, who paid a fine tribute to the memory of the deceased. The Sunday school was draped in black. There was a profusion of floral offerings among them being one representing 'Gates Ajar' from the Sunday school children and teachers.
