    Notes:

    Grandpa's mother, Hattie Yockey, suffered from Bright's Desease and died three days after his birth. His father, James Nelson Potter, blamed his son for his wife's death. He ignored Grandpa and shirked all duty in bringing him up.



    Fortunately, Grandpa's aunt Pauline and her husband, Ralph Rawson, took Grandpa and raised him. Grandpa lived in Hornick, Iowa, until 1921 when the Rawsons moved to Onawa. The next year they moved to Turin and then to Blencoe, where Grandpa entered junior high. His senior year he moved back to Onawa where he graduated from high school in 1934. After attending Iowa University in 1934 and 1935, he was forced to stay out a year and work in order to be able to go on with his studies. Returning to the University in 1936, he scraped by financially by holding part-time jobs. He graduated from Iowa U. Law School in 1941 with high distinction. He passed the Iowa state bar examination, and placed second of all candidates taking the test. He enlisted in the Navy that same year and served his country until 1945, when he was released with the rank of Lieutenant, Senior Grads. In 1946 he established a law practice in Hartley, and shortly therafter moved his family to that town.



    The Potters are reputed to be descenants of the great English admiral, Lord Nelson. It is because of this belief that the eldest son of each Potter was given the middle name of Nelson. Grandpa Potter's family is the only one that did not follow the tradition, naming my dad, James Roger Potter.
