1940: "To 7:30 Mass and then to work, rested two hours during the afternoon back to work at 5 P.M. Sacred Heart Congregation have open house from 2 to 5 this afternoon at their beautiful new church. Joe Weisheipl Jr. plays special organ selections, Clara Daws sings. Thres (Ma Potter) is busy at St. Vincent's Keno Party tonite."[from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "Mary Ann (daughter) begins Lent by going to "Holy Mass." She tells us she is going every day if she wakes up in time. Attend church services tonite and I have quite a time getting there. My chest pains are very severe and to make matters worse no place in church to rest. Had to stay in back; lucky Thres found a place with Donald (son) and family. Little Donnie (grandson) spied me in back and had to tell the people about "Papa" out loud. Don and family are with us after church until 11:15 P.M." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
