Plat Index; Courthouse Square. The people on the courthouse lawn are playing croquet. Because the jailer and his family cared for prisoners, it is likely that the man may have been the sheriff [in 1913 it was J.A. Krause.] A bicycle is leaning up against the steps. Looking east from 1st St. N.E. The postcard was copied by a postmark of April 10, 1914. The old courthouse faced west on Cretzmeyer Public Square [same block as today.] Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No 93D0005
