Mother.
Mrs. Homer Potter, aged 67 years died at her home in this city on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock from the effects of a cancer, from which she has been a great sufferer for some time, but only confined to her bed for a few days.
Mrs. Potter has long been an earnest christian worker in the M. E. church of this city, who will not only be greatly missed from this society but this entire community, for she was ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand to all in need, no matter what their position in life was, and by such
a life of self-sacrifice had become greatly endeared to both young and old.
She leaves a husband who is and has been city assessor for several years, and a son, Nathaniel, of this city, and one daughter Mrs. Kate Hanover, of Stevens Point, who have the deepest sympathy of all.
The funeral was held at her late home on Thursday morning, Rev. Wm. Rollins resident pastor of the M. E. church, officiating. It is seldom if ever that any community is called upon to attend the funerals of two people as highly
respected and loved, as here on Monday and Thursday of this week.
