Shane, you are seeking info on Otto Edler. My father talked
about Otto Edler and how this side of the family moved to
Texas. My Grandfather, James I. Michael, and Otto Edler
were cousins and did some traveling together in the west
in the early 1900's. Otto later went to Texas to live while
my Grandfather went back to Pennsylvania. The name was
originally Idler but was changed to Edler shortly after
coming over. The original pioneer in the family in America
was named, Jacob Edler, and settled in Hepburn Twp.,
Lycoming Co., Pa. I have info on this family going back
