Otis Schaper, son of Frederick C. and Harriet Brown Schaper, was born near Mulvane, Kansas, on January 10, 1888, and was taken from this life on December 9, 1985. His parents farmed the land which they had homesteaded in 1875. His brother and four sisters preceded him in death a number years ago. He attended Mt. Pleasant Grade School and Mulvane High School and lived with his parents until he was united in marriage on April 20, 1910, to Mina Florence Mayfield, daughter of Minor and Dora Daniels Mayfield. Mrs. Schaper's parents also lived on a farm near Mulvane. They were married at the Bethel Brethren Church by Reverend John Denney. To this union five children were born-Florence, Dale, Dillard, Kathryn, and Delmar. His son, Dillard, passed away in January, 1974. Mr. Schaper was blessed with twenty-three grandchildren, twenty-two great-grandchildren, and six great-great grandchildren. In 1921, Mr. and Mrs. Schaper transferred their church member ship to the Mulvane Methodist Church. He sang in the choir and the men's quartet and took his family to morning and evening services regardless of how bad the weather might have been. Their farm home was east of Mulvane where they lived until 1946, at which time they moved to the city of Mulvane. He worked at Boeing Aircraft Company from 1947 to 1953. After his retirement, he and his wife made numerous trips to Florida, California, and Colorado, to visit members of their families. After it was necessary for Mrs. Schaper to live in a care home in Oxford, Kansas, he continued to live in their home in Mulvane and drove to Oxford to visit her and take her the Mulvane News. In 1979, he moved to an apartment in Oxford. Mrs. Schaper passed away on February 10, 1980, just a few months before they would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. A year later he move to Prairie Homestead, Wichita, Kansas, where he resided until his death. He had many friends throughout Mulvane and surrounding communities. His son Delmar once said, "To converse with my father is like experiencing 100 years of Kansas history". He had a deep interest in his family and kept a record of their births and deaths. He held his grandchildren in his arms and had a special feeling for each of them. Most certainly he will be missed by his family and many friends who have relied on his companionship and wisdom throughout the years. But he was prepared to go and was looking forward to his eternal home. At times when he was very ill he would comfort himself by repeating the verse from Luke 22:42, "Not my will but thine be done".
