I found a newspaper photo of Grandpa Potter from the Oshkosh Daily Tuesday, March 22, 1955, Page 11

I was also able to finally determine who was Caroline Drexler, Grandma Potter's sister. I knew that a Caroline Drexler was listed in census reports, but I wasn't sure what happened to her.  I was able to get to the Oshkosh Public Library and found Caroline Baier's obituary from 1947 that listed Grandma as her sister. It took a while because the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern papers from 1941-1951 aren't available online.
