Willard, Clark Co.
Wisconsin (May 14, 1917)
L>R: A. Trunkel, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Rester,
F. Perovsek, Ignac
Cesnik, and J. Zallar.
The photo
postcard above was taken in downtown Willard, WI.
The auto pictured is a 1914 Dodge..
Frank Kobal apparently sent this card to his mother to let her know he'd arrived
in Willard. The penmanship on the back of the card is extremely difficult
to read and was written in
Slovene, but Frank was definitely
the author.
The building behind the auto is the
land office once used by Ignac Cesnik, the land agent for the Foster railroad
which owned the cutover land in the area. This structure was brought to Willard
on a flat car from Fairchild. It is presently owned by Avis Suda and
leased from them by the Slovenian Club of Willard. It has since been restored to
pretty much the same condition as it was when this photo was taken. (details
