Dell Potter
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph identified as Dell POTTER. The photograph was likely taken in the 1880’s with Dell appearing to be in her 20’s or 30’s at the time it was taken. There is no studio or location identified on the photograph so I’ve no idea where it originated from and it was recovered along with photographs from all over the country as well so no real clue there either. I’m hoping to locate someone with her in their family so that we can identify the family and see it returned to their care. If you are a member of this POTTER Family or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley

Tabitha Lauriel Potter was born to Alan and Melissa Potter. Her mother, Melissa, died shortly after she was born and her grandmother, Shirley Gendreau, helped Alan raise Tabitha.
One day in September 1999, Tabitha put on her new school clothes (the first day of school was the following Wednesday) and left her house. She was never seen again.
The family - her father, grandfather, and stepmother Donna - searched with others for four days. Tabitha's body was eventually found covered in leaves and wood timbers in a nearby city park (called Shedd Park) where she used to play. For full details see Body discovered in Lowell.
Police later identified her killer as an out of work bricklayer who hanged himself after Tabitha's body was found. Further investigation found that she had been raped, strangled, and partially buried.

Johnathon B. Potter born in New York about 1823 married Ruth Ann Beals who was born in Pennsylvania about 1830. They live in Crawford County, Pennsylvania in 1850 as newly weds, without children. By 1860, still in Crawford County, they have 4 children: Charles, Barbara, Perry and Adeline. By 1870 they have moved to Keokuk, Lee County, Iowa. Johnathon is 45 and Ruth is 40. Charles has already left home by then.
By 1872 Barbara has met a young man, James Payton, and he has asked for her hand. They marry in January 1873 and make a life in Iowa where they raise 6 children.
In 1883 Perry marries into a the Crandall family in Ponca, Nebraska. They have 4 daughters but something goes terribly wrong and Perry moves back to Iowa alone in 1890. A short time later he joins the Army-maybe to mend a broken heart. Perry later moves to Moffat County, Colorado where he dies alone in his mountain cabin in 1932. He never married again.
In 1884 Adeline marries Fred Betz in Kansas. They have a son, Frederick, born in Kansas in 1903 and soon move to Colorado.
After all the kids leave home, I lost track of Ruth Ann and Johnathon. I do not know where they are buried. But, I honor my great great grandparents by remembering them to my children. I believe they are being honored each time I speak their names and tell of the struggles and joy in the lives they lived.
