1943: "Mrs. Joseph (Anna) Schani passed away this morning at 4:10 . She had suffered a stroke. Born April 8, 1892, married Nov. 25, 1913. Survived by Joe and 5 daughters, Joan - Rita - Mrs. Anna Wagner - Marie of Oshkosh, Lucille of Chicago - 5 sons Aloysius - Joseph Jr. - Nolan - Raymond - Sylvester. She used to deliver milk to our house when we lived at 1212 Minnesota Street. I got a job for her at Julius Martin grocery when I worked there in 1908. At that time she lived at 544 12th St."  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1947: "The J. I Case Co. strike which began Dec. 26, 1945 is finally ended and men will be back to work by the end of this week. Mrs. Louis Kuebler is laid to rest." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1956: "You know what day this is. It's pay day, that is it's the day to pay monthly bills if you wish to discount them, in our case that means a savings of about 800 to 900 dollars. A snow storm which turns into the worst blizzard we have had this winter begins around 5 o'clock this afternoon. When I took Marge Haverty home at six it was going pretty strong. Later at night it snowed, with thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. This was most unusual with temperature at 20°." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
