From 1924 to 1975, Dr. Wesley Harve Rethwill, Sr. had a dental practice in Waseca. Originally from LeSueur, MN, he established his practice in Waseca in 1924 with Dr. Prail on the second floor of the old First National Bank building at 100 1/2 N. State St. In 1965 Dr. Rethwill moved his practice to a new building with his son, Dr. Wesley Howard Rethwill, Jr., at 409 N. State. The building was razed around 2005 to allow expansion of Waseca Medical Center.Cataloged By
