Marcus Otnes Feb 8, 1876 - Mar 1975 Seattle, Washington

My grandpa was 80 when I was born, so he was quite old in the 19 years I knew him. He lived to the age of 99. Born in 1876, he must have seen many changes in his lifetime. He was a farmer in Norway before coming to America. When he came to the NW, he worked in a lumber mill on Bainbridge Island, before entering the fishing industry as a commerical fisherman. His boat, The Bertha,named after his wife was passed down to his 2 sons, Pete and Fred who made a living fishing together in the NW for more than 40 years before retiring and selling the boat. Marucs married Berit Oldervik, also from Norway.
