Potter "was born on a farm at Library, Pa. October 3d, 1828, and died at Eustis, Florida, April 11th, 1903. Ordained by the Presbytery of Dubuque in 1855, he served as Pastor of Presbyterian churches in Iowa, Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Florida. This tribute is less a chronicle of Dr. Potter's career than an appreciation of the beauty of his character and the charm of his personality. The glow of affection which inspired these pages, together with their writer's gifts of vision and delineation, surround the figure of his friend with some thing like the atmosphere of poetry ; and the reader finds his own feelings drawn toward 'a man whom the little children loved'."
