Harriet Lucinda Green was born at
Alfred, Allegany county, N. Y, May
II. 1882, where she lived until her 9Th
wear, when she came west with her
parents. They made the journey by
way of the Erie canal and great lakes,
and then by steam from Milwaukee to
these parts where their father made
them a home at Albion. Here her
maiden life was spent helping take care
of the brothers who were younger imam
she. Her fathers home was always a
home for the cousins and friends, and
here she early learned the art OF real
hospitality. Her education as far as
books were concerned was meagre, but
in the other things which make the
home a success and a reality her edu-
cation and refinement were complete.
On the oath of October, 1850, she was
united in marriage to Stephen K. Pot
ter and all but two years OF her LIE
since that time has been spent In her
own home, the first year being spent
with her parents and one year after
her husbands death she spent with her
Youngest daughter in the village OF
Albion. She did her part in the home
making, and what was once wooded
tract is now beautiful cleared farm.
Into this home she carried those graces
of kindness and hospitality that were
so marked in her fathers home, and
for nearly So years this has been a
home of joy and gladness. And many
are the people who know how pleasant
it was to go and see "Uncle Stephen
and Aunt Harriet" Four daughters
were born, Mary A, Dora j., Hattie
M. and Edith B. And to these four
daughters the old home has always
been most precious and dear. From
this nome Cney nave gone 1OI III " Cue
work of life trying to carry into their
own homes that same spirit of love and
hospitality that so marked the dear old
home. And it has always been a pleas
ure for them to return to the old home
and see the dear ones. The father
passed on four years ago the. 18th of
last January, and the mother has been
the object of their love and tender care
as she has grown weaker and more
feeble. She seemed to suffer but little
pain and quietly and peacefully went to
sleep in Jesus July 18th with all four
daughters at her side. She took great
delight and pride in having her children
in the church services and the Sabbath
school. She frequently kept the new
minister and family in her home until
they could get settled in their own
home. She had great interest IN the
founding of the Albion school, gladly
kept the students in her home, and
contributed whatever she could to the
interest and profit of all public exer-
cises and entertainments that make
any school a success. She deprived
herself of many of the comforts of life
in order that her own children might
attend school. She united with the
Seventh Day Baptist church Nov. s.
1852, being baptised by Elder 0. P.
Hull The church and society suffer g
great loss in the death of so great anC
so lovely character.
