           Otto Nolte

           Rural free delivery is an advance in the postal system which came upon us so suddenly as to practically take us unawares. A few years ago it was regarded as a freak idea, but was given a trial, proved practicable, and was extended until now most of the country is covered and it is now taken as a matter of course. This system has worked a great change in rural postoffices. Most of the smaller ones have been discontinued and the ones which remain transact more business by far than all did before. This development has all taken place since Mr. Nolte began his duties as postmaster at Mayview, and he has seen its development in his own office. The new system has also tended to the centralization of stores in rural communities and to making such institutions larger. Formerly stores and postoffices were connected in the little country villages and the storekeeper depended on the postoffice as an addition to his income and a drawing card to purchasers. When the small postoffices were discontinued, this meant the loss of these advantages and the building up of larger stores in the larger villages.
           Otto Nolte was born September 15, 1873, in Washington township, this county, the son of William and Mary Nolte, who came here from Hanover, Germany, in 1870, and rented for eleven years. They then bought a farm of one hundred and twenty acres, afterwards adding forty acres more. Otto was one of a family of nine children, two of whom are deceased, and one is living in Saline county, Missouri. The family were members of the German Evangelical church, and Mr. Nolte was a firm Republican.
           Otto Nolte received a common school education, and at the age of twenty-three years he came to Mayview and was appointed postmaster under President McKinley, which position he has ably filled since. He is also the proprietor of a prosperous store, carrying on the postoffice in connection.
           On December 11, 1900, Mr. Nolte was married to Lillie Rabius, the daughter of Herman and Friedrika Rabius. She has borne to him four children: James Otto, born January 28, 1902, is deceased; Vena Marie, twin of James Otto; Murray Lewis, born January 1, 1904; Maurice Guy, born September 6, 1908. Mr. Nolte is a Baptist and his wife a member of the German Evangelical church. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America. For the past ten years he has been clerk of the Modern Woodmen. The citizens of Mayview have elected him mayor for the past three terms; he was out of that office for two terms preceding, and had held it for two terms before, thus serving five terms in all. He is a member of the school board, and has been superintendent of the Sunday school for ten years. Neither has he been slow in accumulating property, for he owns his home and two business buildings. He is a man whose strong Christian character is manifested in his everyday life, one with numerous friends, one who possesses the confidence of the people of the community in a marked degree, a young man of ability and power and with very brilliant future prospects, judging by his past.
