Bellevue Leader, Bellevue, Iowa, March 18, 1879

L. B. POTTER

Mr. L. B. Potter, living four miles out of town is the wealthiest man in the 
county, and has perhaps walked more miles than any other man in Iowa. He says 
that for 37 years he has walked into Bellevue and home again, on an average 
350 times every year. And as the round distance, we find that he has walked 
2,800 miles each year, or 100,600 miles in 37 years. Mr. Potter is the owner 
of fine horses, buggies and carriages, but prefers to go afoot. He never 
attempted to ride anything in his life except a mule, which pitched him into a 
mud hole, and since that time he has had no disposition to travel on horse or 
mule back or cared to ride behind them unless another driver had charge of 
them.
