Bert Potter (composer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Bert Potter (composer) Albert Lincoln (“Bert”) Potter (March 11, 1874 – January 29, 1930) was a composer of popular songs active between 1904 and 1917. ==Biography== Bert Potter, born in Boston, was the first child of Algernon S. and Flora E. Potter. Algernon was a wholesale dealer in clothing, and Bert was raised in an upper-middle-class family, with two Irish servants in the household.〔1880 and 1900 U. S. Federal Census.〕 After his marriage to Eleanor Dodge (August 2, 1898), Bert worked in his father’s business; but early in the twentieth century he migrated into music, publishing his first songs in 1904.〔Massachusetts Town and Vital Records; 1900 U. S. Federal Census; WorldCat; “With the Music Publishers,” ''The New York Telegraph'', November 6, 1904, p. 8.〕 Shortly afterwards he settled in Dorchester, in a house that he occupied the rest of his life. The 1908 city directory identified him as a “musician,” and at least from 1910–14 he worked as a salesman in piano stores.〔''The Boston Directory'' (Boston: Sampson & Murdock Company), 1908–14.〕 By 1918, however, he had abandoned the musical profession and become an agent with John Hancock Mutual Insurance Co., serving in that capacity until his death.〔World War I Draft Registration Cards; 1920 U. S. Federal Census; death date from ''The Boston Directory'' (Boston: Sampson & Murdock Company), 1930.〕
