May 29

1935: "Another trip to the cemetery with Mary Drexler this time. Ted's grave now is in very nice condition. Thres has her 500 Card Club to entertain while I take the children to Menominee Park. Ken Childs and Mr. Howser are in town. N.R.A. Roosevelt's National Recovery Act is declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court."[from A. E. Potter's diaries]
1951: "J. C. Penny is the guest speaker at Kiwanis today. At 76 he is very interesting. He is chairman of the board of J. C. Penny Co. He is the founder of the company which now numbers 1612 stores. Took Emma Siewert to the cottage for clean up and toward evening Bill Mauritz to do some painting. Josephine (Mrs. Harry) Adams passed away this afternoon at 1:30 at Mercy. Had been ill for 10 months." [from A. E. Potter's diaries]
