Notes

Without question Cora Harper was the spiritual leader in our family. Whenever any of us had questions in faith (even the most trying ones) we knew we could depend on Cora to give us answers & guidance. She maintained a quiet strength and dignity throughout her life & until the end. She would never interfere in extended family business unless she clearly new a few directional words were needed to steer us back on a more direct course.
Her parents lived in a sod house in Kansas. They moved to Nebraska and Cora was born in 1889. She was raised in the Quaker faith. Cora attended Earlham College and went on to become a teacher in a one room school house. She met & married Vernon Potter. She has two daughters Elenor & Marjorie. Vernon died at the age of 52. Later she married Leslie Harper & they became members of this church (Westminster Presbyterian Church, Akron, Ohio). She was the first woman elder of Westminster, and served in many positions including Missions of which she was especially fond. She was an active member of the womans assoc., led bible study classes here and @ Rockynol (Presbyterian Retirement Home), was a member of P. E. O. Sisterhood, fortnightly, & 60 Plus Club. She & Leslie served on the research & founding committee of Rockynol. In 1970 they made Rockynol their home. She continued to be active there.
Bulk of history came from recording made in 1980 @ age 92. (Made by Katheryn Sherer Harper and transcribed in 1986).
