Otto Corbin, owner & operator of a sporting goods store in Bottineau for 29 years, was 6 years old when he arrived from South Dakota with his mother & stepfather, Mr & Mrs Fred Schenkenberger, and his 2 brothers & sister. That was in 1913. For 2 years, the family lived on a farm in the Turtle Mountains, then moved to Bottineau where Otto started school. "We were broke when we arrived," he remembers, "& TF Woods sold us groceries for a month on the cuff." Otto's long love affair with Bottineau & its people started right then & there. When he was 10 years old, Otto lost his right leg in a binder runaway accident. To the day he remembers with gratitude the Bottineau bussiness people who donated money to help pay for his first artificial limb. His first artificial limb cost $25, the last one $1004.00.

Otto never did let his artificial leg slow him down too much. He liked sports. He was especially interested in hockey, & for 15 years he was the team's manager. After high school & 15 years working for HL Wood in Wood's oil station, Otto opened his sporting goods store on 6th & Main Streets & called it Corby's Trading Post. Civic minded as well as sports minded, Otto served as president of the Bottineau Chamber of Commerce, president of the Wildlife Club, & member of the Bottineau Fire Department. Later he was president of the Lake Metigoshe Improvement Association.

In 1935, Otto married Alma Brunsell. They had 3 children: Donald, now a science teacher in Fort Collins, Colorado (married with 5 children); Larry, who lives in Tempe, Arizona, & works for the US Government; & Patricia, who lives in Arizona & is employed by a doctor.

Since 1966, Otto has made his home at Lake Metigoshe with his 2nd wife, the former Grace E Larson, whom he married in 1965. From their home at the Lake, Grace & Otto operate a commercial cleaning service & act as distributors for office cleaning equipment.

Otto married Alma Lillian Brunsell on 17 Oct 1934 in Bottineau, Bottineau County, North Dakota, USA, and was divorced. Alma was born on 2 Oct 1912 in North Dakota, USA; died on 25 Jun 2005 in Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
