Mr. Otero, notwithstanding his advanced years, never gave up active participation in business and continued to direct his numerous business affairs to the end. He was taken sick last September, but nevertheless managed to keep about until last week when he took to his bed
He was born at the ancient city of Tubac in 1842. His father, Manuel Otero, was owner of the Otero land grant, secured by the family from the Mexican government in 1834. When Sabino was but 19 years of age his father died and the estate with its responsibilities passed on to the son. Of the 12 children of which he was the oldest he outlived all save his brother, Teofilo Otero.
He never married and his cheif responsibility in life aside from the care of his property was the car of this numerous relatives, brother, nephews and nieces, grand-nephews and grand-nieces and their children. At the time of his death he had a number living with him at his home.
Up to the year 1881 he was engaged in farming below the Tumacacori Mission but after this date he began to give his entire time to the cattle business. He owned large herds near the Baboquivari mountains. He has lived in Tucson since the '60's.
