He mustered into the regiment at Pontiac (January 19, 1864), was wounded in action (May 5, 1864), and discharged on a disability certificate (May 9, 1865). The collection includes Potter's pension certificate (1910) and that of his widow, Rosetta Potter (1919). The papers also include photographs of the Fifth Michigan reunions at Mount Clemens (1919) and Detroit (1920), and brochures documenting the 1907 reunion of the Fifth Michigan Infantry, the 1903 reunion of the Fifteenth Michigan Infantry, and the 1927 encampment of veterans from the Civil War, Spanish American War, and Veterans of Foreign Wars. The few newspaper clippings, gathered by Harold Reichtmyer, detail the number of Civil War veterans still living in the late 1930s. The collection also includes an undated obituary of Rosetta Potter, who married Hamilton Potter in 1867, and lived to the age of 80.
