Plat book of Morrison County, Minnesota, circa 1902-1907. Spine says, "Map of Morrison County." Hardcover, tan 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. Inside the front cover, there are several stamp markings that say, ""Carl Bolander,LAND and LOAN AGENT, Little Falls, Minn."" This book was donated to MCHS by Don Derosier, who took over as owner of the Girtz Barbershop in Little Falls. The barbershop was located in the Vertin Block, which was built by John Vertin for his real estate and insurance business. The barbershop was started by Joseph Girtz, whose wife was Agnes (Vertin) Girtz, one of the daughters of John Vertin. This book was found in the basement of the Vertin Block when Don Derosier took ownership of the building. While the connection between Carl Bolander and John Vertin is unknown, there is a high probability that this book was used by John Vertin. This book was one of a number of plat books from John Vertin that was donated by Don Derosier. John Vertin played a larger role in the community, serving as city treasurer for Little Falls for 44 years. He was also 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.
