Biographical Notes

June 10th, 1899.

Death of MR. A. M. Potter.

The Chairman (Mr. J. B. Simpson) said that he had the melancholy duty of asking the members to pass a vote of condolence with Mrs. Potter on the death of her husband, who had passed away since the last meeting of the Institute. He felt sure that all of them who knew him would very much regret his loss.
