Looking for any information about Herbert Clyde Ott and his family. I know that he was a miner in Coleman and buried at Bellevue Cemetery in Crowsnest in 1936. Also, looking for any information on his father Philip Silas Ott who also lived in Canada but born in the USA.

Herbert is not in the 1901 census that I see. Possibly moved.

You might also check out a search for Ott in this book. I found a couple of references, such as P.S. Ott being one of the first trustess of the Rillington School District.

1911 census (736 7th Ave S)

If you look at the census scan, you will see that the wife's name is Gertie instead of Bessie, but I can see how a transcriber could mistake it.

I wonder if this is Lawrence's marriage.
