Dr. Potter, at the time he answered the service, was a resident of Naperville. And he had long been favorably known to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Cook and DuPage counties, and was in the enjoyment of an extensive and lucrative practice. But at the call of his country, in the summer of 1862, he left everything and accepted the post of surgeon to the 105th regiment, which was composed in a large degree of his old friends and acquaintances. It was to the earnest solicitations of these friends, who felt the importance of needing a medical advisor and one whom they could rely. No less than to his own sense of duty, the doctor gave up the enjoyment of home for the hardships and privations of the camp. He was soon promoted to the post of surgeon of the brigade, to which his regiment belonged to. Not long after that, he was Medical Director of the division. These promotions created no surprise among his numerous friends who were acquainted with his merits. The the report came in: He was killed by a rebounding shell in Georgia. Friends and family were not informed of the particulars, but learned that the deceased, with a two or three members of medical staff, were in search of a site for a hospital, and without knowing the dangerous proximity, had preceded within range of the enemy's guns, when he was instantaneously killed by a rebounding shell, which fell a short distance from the party.
