Coroner Neil Phelps and an Ionia physician who were called, said death was due to a heart condition. Members of the Potter family, who were called to the plant, said he had not been feeling well for several days. Coroner Phelps said Potter was taken ill about 10 o'clock Friday morning and apparently got on an elevator to go home or to the first aid station. While riding down on the elevator he slumped over and was caught by the operator before he fell. Phelps said he was removed from the elevator on a cot to the first aid room where he was dead when admitted. Plant protection men at the Ionia Manufacturing company went to Lyons and brought members of the Potter family to Ionia. The body was taken to the Shaw-Rivett funeral home in Muir.
