The China Mail, 1932-07-04, page 7:

More than $3,000 worth of valuables were stolen from the residence of Mr A. H. Potts, High House, Mount Davis, during the week-end.

Potts or Hutton Potts? Joanna writes:

... while most of the family use just "Potts" our correct surname is HUTTON POTTS without a hyphen ...
