Why this record matters
“Mary Otto” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mary, Otto and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q78694289. VIAF identifies the subject as 24147662831060550416. The Library of Congress control number is n2016188225. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2007, 2009 and 2010.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
