  It gives pain to report the death by diphtheria of Katie Potter, aged 12 
years and 6 months, and daughter of Mr. R.E. and Mrs. Wortley Potter, which 
occurred Wednesday afternoon at their residence, No. 117 North Park avenue. 
She had been sick only a few days and had trachestomy preformed by Drs. 
Davidson, Grimes and Meredith.  She, however, could not survive the serious 
inroads already made by this dreadful disease.  After religious services, 
conducted privately by Rev. E.B. McClur, her remains were taken for interment 
to Suffolk, the former home of the family, via Norfolk and Carolina railroad, 
at 2 p.m. yesterday.
