October 18

1941: "This is a busy day for all of us.  We are having a Grand Opening at our West Side Store.  Altho [sic] it is a day of rain many people avail themselves of the opportunity to congratulate us.  Celia Fretschel is married to Herbert Putzer at 9 o'clock at St. Vincent's.  Grandma Baier is laid to rest this morning.  Church service at 10:15 A.M. at St. Vincent's. Father Michael Drexler is in the Sanctuary.  We attend the Putzer wedding reception at the E.R.A. building after I get thru working at the store.  Get home at 1:30 A.M. and it is still raining.  Donald (son) serves at both wedding and funeral." [from A.E. Potter's diaries]
1945: "Soft Water Service is being installed at our home today." [from A.E. Potter's diaries]
