1939: "Our near neighbor, Mrs. Rose Jungen passes away suddenly at 5 o'clock this morning at Mercy Hospital from a heart attack. Born 1886 at Whitelaw. This afternoon I am appointed guardian over her 5 boys Joseph, Leo, Paul, Carl, and Donald." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1949: "To 7:30 Mass Donald and Arlene are with us. Arlene receives her "First Holy Communion." It's a happy occasion for our family. Arlene is our guest at breakfast and dinner. Our hearts are gay, but the weather is not. Rain and a little snow all day, temperatures between 31° and 35°. Had a call from Sister Aquilina at St. Mary's Home. She has not been too well of late." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "Joe Rieger moves to a new place this afternoon. Donald helped him to move his belongings to Mrs. Cath Panske's boarding home. He was with us since April 16th last year. I would say he has a nice start to be on this own. He has exactly 200 dollars in the bank savings account. We all wish him the best of luck." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
