August 24

1939: "Geo. Meisinger has his nose cauterized. Two blood vessels in it had burst. Dr. Ebert does the job. Attended graduation exercises at the 'Mercy School of Nursing' tonite. Marcella Stoegbauer is the only Oshkosh girl to get a diploma." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1940: "Delivered a good sized dish of special pick plums to Mrs. Geo. Haverty, when I got there I found no one home. More rain tonite, this is the fifth Saturday in succession we have rain." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]  
1954: "A heavy electric storm awoke us at 4 A.M. and sent us scurrying to close the windows. Took Thres to the cottage 10 A.M. I attended Kiwanis luncheon. Paul Gia Russio, a clergyman at one of the Milwaukee churches spoke on 'How's Your Card Game?' It was a history of cards from ancient times to the present and was very interesting. Frank Fraken and Gery Wiley birthday today. Thres entertains Mary Fenzl, Mary Schneider, Annie Heip, Mame Haidlinger at the cottage."  [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
