April 22

1934: "First Holy Communion at St. Vincent's this morning. It is not very pleasant weather. I work in the morning and in the evening. Slept most of the afternoon. After work played Keno at Sacred Heart, and won a tea kettle, 4# of lard, and 5# of sugar."  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1953: "Feels like spring is here this morning; temperature is at 72 this noon. I visited Uncle Joe for a time this morning. I also did a little preaching. He is very anxious to get out and wants to march in the Memorial Day parade. I told him not to be in too much of a rush. Took a drive to the cottage this afternoon, our first one this year. Everything looks OK. Stopped at Amanda Drexler's with Thres. Mandie had a bad spell of dysentery today. She is very weak; her sister Elizabeth was with her. Richard Kock's aunt, Lillian Zellmer is in this morning. She tells me he is working for Ford Hopkins, Kaukakee, Illinois and is divorced from his wife. Got a sudden urge to clean the back attic today. Donald is over with his family and helps a lot. They leave for home at 1 A.M. Rose Weisheipl to Rexall Meeting at Green Bay." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
