July 1

1935: "Anna Baier married to Raymond Ostertag this morning at 8 o'clock. She nearly faints in church." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1936: "Moved the family out to the cottage for the weekend. Had quite a hail storm during the afternoon about 4:45. After six o'clock there was still much hail on the ground in places. On the cross road to our cottage a tree was blown over, a cow killed on the Ciscel farm and wires down. We are without lights until 10 P.M. The ladies lost 4 strait games of sheephead again. To bed at 2 A.M. Father John Haen our assistant is transferred to Kaukauna. He changes places with Father Sylvester Stern." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1949: "Donald plants a note in my Plymouth this afternoon. Well he might as well have told me. I have been suspecting something up for some time. He is to be married some time in August." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1954: "Haircuts advance to 1.25 and shaves to a dollar in the city of Oshkosh. When I was a young man shaves were 10 cents and hair cuts were 25 cents. Joe Baier and Billy Mauritz are off to see the Milwaukee Braves battle the St. Louis Cardinals, and what happens, the Braves lose 9-2. Stan Musial 2 home runs. Father Alphonse Wagner is in my office  to say good bye. He is to leave tomorrow for a vacation trip to one of the "National Shrines." He has not yet received his new assignment from Bishop Bona." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
