AARON POTTER was born
near Middletown, Butler county, Ohio, Mar. 31, 1809. His father
was Enos Potter, who was an early settler at Columbia, and who
immigrated from New Jersey in 1788. In 1798 he removed to his farm
near Middletown, which he had purchased of John C. Symmes.
Here, in this rural home, Aaron Potter grew up under the
fostering care of a more than ordinary mother, for his father died when
he was only five years old. In 1827, when eighteen years old, he
removed to Cincinnati, where, under the tuition of E. B. Potter,
he learned his trade, of marble and stone cutter. On Sept. 20,
1830, he married Miss Emeline Ransdale and settled down to the
work of life. In 1836 he removed his business to Hamilton where he
remained to the day of his death with the exception of a few months
which were spent in Indiana. He was the first to embark in the
monument business in the city of Hamilton. For a number of years
he was also engaged in partnership with Richard Cole, in the
manufacture of sash, doors and blinds on the lower hydraulic near Dayton
street. Later he built the Hamilton Flour Mills at the corner of
North and B. streets. Mr. Potter was a Christian gentleman
and, with Dr. Laomi Rigdon, organized the First Baptist church of
Hamilton in 1841. He died July 1, 1871, aged sixty-two years.
