It was found on the shore of White Lake near Weyauwega. (Received from) Mr. Al Fenske." Original catalog card written by Kannenberg for L300-53 (5450APK): "Straight-base monitor pipe, stem only. Locality: Fremont, Waupaca County. Received from Mr. Albert Fenske. Purple steatite. It was found on the shore of White Lake, near Weyauwega.
