This artifact is from a collection of photographs, letters, maps and greeting cards from the estate of Arthur Koentopp, a farmer who lived with his brother, Herman Koentopp, in Iosco Township. Both were WWII veterans; Arthur died July 10, 1972 at his home; Herman died in a Janesville fire on November 21, 1978. The donor Rod Joyce worked for many years in the Waseca County Recorder's Office, and then the Waseca County Treasurer's Office.
