Otto Homuth

Served on the Preston village council from 1895 to 1897 and was reeve of the village in 1898 and 1899. He was, thus, reeve on September 30, 1899 when Preston was incorporated as a town and thereby became the first mayor of Preston although the distinction of being the first elected mayor of Preston goes to George Clare. In 1912 he succeeded M. H. Mullin as mayor of Preston and served in that capacity until 1914.
