Many years after his death, the Deere - Wiman foundation and the Rock Island Historical Society received several photos of Arvid and his son, Richard (who had also been a Chauffer for the family) from T.W. H. Thus solved the mystery of several photos already in their possession of a man they had nicknamed "Pigtail Arv" due to his hair style and only a name "Arv" on the back of the photo.
