Plat book of Morrison County, Minnesota, 1902. Hardcover, green with brown spine and corners. Though hardcover, this book appears to be a scrapbook, with irregular fold-out pages of plat maps cut from another source and pasted within. The note inside the front cover, written in Bruce Mellor's hand, says, ""Note=this plat map pre-dates the #78-9-12 plat map and this volume may be the Little Falls Transcript Map of Morrison County Printed in 1902. [1901-sic-1902] (Map in this vol. is same as cloth edition map #MCHS-XI (old #236))"" Bruce Mellor was past archivist of the Morrison County Historical Society. Inside the front cover, there is a stamp marking that says, ""Vertin's Insurance Agency, Little Falls, Minn."" This book was used by John Vertin, who was a land dealer and insurance agent. He also served as city treasurer for Little Falls for 44 years, was on the city council for 3 terms, served as president of the Chamber of Commerce for a time, helped organize Little Falls Federal Savings and Loan, and was a founding partner of the Little Falls Black Granite Company. This book was donated to MCHS by Don Derosier, who took over as owner of the Girtz Barbershop, which was located in the Vertin Block, the building that was built by John Vertin and served as the home for his business. The barbershop was started by Joseph Girtz, whose wife was Agnes (Vertin) Girtz, one of John Vertin's daughters. This book was found in the basement of the Vertin Block when Derosier took ownership of the building.
