1926: Cousin Bessie gets Shot

This clipping from a 1926 Chicago-area newspaper is a combination wedding description and accident report involving George Potter's sister Alice Potter Cowlin's daughter Bessie.  The Cowlin's were clearly more prosperous than George, but accidents do happen.  Everyone lived long and stayed married.
