OBITUARY: Pippin Orchard
David Warren Potter died at his home in Cranston, on Pippin Orchard St., February 21, after a painful illness of four weeks. He was in ill health nearly a year and last spring had an attack of la grippe from which he never fully recovered. The funeral was solemnized at his late residence on Monday, February 25. Rev. Walter B. Greene of Fiskville officiated and selected for the foundation of his remarks the words found in the ninetieth Psalm. The choir rendered the favorite selections, “Some Sweet Day Bye and Bye,” ”Meet Me There,” “Go Bury Thy Sorrow.” At the close of the services the remains were conveyed to the family lot on the homestead, where the casket was placed in its last resting place by the bearers, sons-in-law of the deceased. The floral display was very appropriate and indicated the respect and esteem of the wife and children of the departed. The proceedings were under the direction of undertaker Byron Read of Anthony. Mr. Potter was born in the town of Scituate, March 21, 1834. He was a son of Allen and Eliza A. Potter and was one of six children, three sons and three daughters. Two  sisters survive him. He lived in Scituate until about nine years of age when his father purchase the farm in Cranston where Mr. Potter has lived for fifty-seven years. He received his education in the common schools. His early life was spent in helping his father on the farm and working for people around. His occupation was not only one kind, but he was gifted for all kinds of work. In December, 1861, he was united in marriage with Emily J. Jordan, daughter of Henry and Sarah A. Jordan of Cranston. Four children were born to them, of whom all survive him, Annie M., Emma J., Minnie W., and Mary E. Six grandchildren also survive. Mr. Potter was man of true character, kind and generous. He loved books and read widely within his limited opportunity, and took a great interest in his home which has held many family gatherings and was always open to receive the relatives of both families on their visits to the scenes of childhood. In 1867 he began teaming for himself, carting wood and doing work for other people, which he followed for a number of years. Mr. Potter was surveyor and road commissioner of the highways of the town of Cranston for a period of years and gave very good satisfaction in that capacity. He also was trustee of the Pippin Orchard school for a number of years but in later years he lost interest in that direction and devoted his time and energies to this farming interests. He was a fond and affectionate husband and father, an abiding and faithful friend, and noble-minded and honorable citizen.

Emily Jane JORDAN was born on 12 Nov 1843. She died on 22 May 1932. Emily married (MRIN:956) David Warren POTTER on 25 Dec 1861 in Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island.

BIOGRAPHY: Scituate Reservoir: A story of sacrifice
It brought water to Providence, destroying communities and lives in the process
By ROBERT L. SMITH
Journal Staff Writer
On May 23, 1916, the City of Providence paid Frank and Lyman Knight $12,150 for their holdings in rural Scituate, according to records on file with the Providence Water Supply Board. The father and grandfather sold 406 acres, two barns, a sawmill and an ice house on Knight Brook. The bill of sale included two houses, "1 burned." Lyman Knight's ancestors think they understand the peculiar entry. Rather than sell his house to the builders of the Scituate Reservoir, the Knight family patriarch set it afire, they believe. They imagine he stood in his fields and watched as two centuries of family history burned so that the city would have its water. "The Knights were very strong, stubborn people," said Shirley Arnold of Scituate, a descendent of Frank and Lyman Knight. "They did not want to leave that house."   More than half the state drinks water from the lake, which forms a long, crooked V across the belly of Scituate. Managed wisely, said Richard Rafanovic, the reservoir's chief engineer, the tap could run forever. But there was a price to pay for that consistency and that prosperity. It was borne by about 1,600 mostly quiet, hard-working, rural folks who in 1916 began answering alarming knocks at the door. It was a man from the city, and he had papers saying their way of life was over. Kent, home to the Knights since 1708, fell first. Then all the rest: Richmond, Ashland, South Scituate, Saundersville, Rockland and Ponaganset, all abandoned, torn apart board by board, cleared and drowned. The water board kept meticulous records, photographs of everything it razed. After 20 years' research, Arnold can breathe life into the clues. She and other Knight descendents can imagine, now, some of the unspoken.  There's the photo of her great-grandfather's house, a handsome ranch house with two sitting porches, three chimneys, a stone foundation. There's the obituary the newspaper ran upon the death of her great-great-grandfather. "He was often seen in his fields with his son and his grandson," it reads. "His home was the dearest place to him on earth." There's the inventory, the cold record of what the Knights sold to Providence in the spring of 1916 - 2 houses, 1 burned.
All in all 8 Rhode Island Towns were drowned...
Scituate             Richmond
South Scituate       Ashland
Kent                 Saundersville
Ponaganset           Rockland

There is also a Sabbath school connected with the church, with Lyman A. Knight as Superintendent, Treasurer and Collector; Fenner Kent, Assistant Superintendent; Mary A. Knight, Librarian.  It has an average attendance of twenty to twenty-five.
