Adolph “Otto” Stohler

Adolph “Otto” Stohler was the second son of Frederick and Marie Stohler born in St. Louis, Missouri, Jan. 2, 1893.  He attended public school in St. Louis and then took a chiropractic course from the Palmer School.

In later years in the 1920’s Otto had his own office and was doing very well when the regular doctors in California fought so hard to get rid of the chiropractors that they were successful.  Otto moved to Vancouver, Washington where he had a very good practice and did this until having a slight stroke shortly before he died.

Otto married in the 40’s to a lovely lady named Dorothy.  Nothing else is known about her except she died in 1970 and Otto died just three months later on Dec. 2, 1970.  He is interred in Evergreen Memorial Gardens, Vancouver, Washington.  They had no children.

I remember as a young girl growing up in Eagle Rock, California that I had growing pains or just played too hard and when Uncle Otto came to visit he would do some adjusting and massages on my neck and back.  After his treatment I always felt relieved of every ache and pain in the world.  He was wonderful and very kind person.  He had snow-white hair at a very young age.  My mother said he had a very high fever when he was younger and very sick.  When this sickness was over his hair had turned snow white at the age of 14.
