The image shows pages 874–875 of the Milwaukee directory, and under Konecny there is "Peter welder h r 695 12th". This is a normal English form of Petr Konečný, so the surname and first name are compatible. The entry does not give the middle name or any dates, so it only shows that a Peter Konecny lived in Milwaukee around 1917.
Matches: The page lists "Konecny ... —Peter welder h r 695 12th", which fits the Czech name Petr Konečný as an English form.; The entry sits in a 1917 Milwaukee directory, matching the citation detail.; Three other men listed at the same address (Frank, Jno, Jos) could be relatives, but that is only a guess.
Limits: The directory gives only "Peter", with no middle name Pavel.; It gives no birth or death dates, so it cannot confirm 1893–1936.; It does not show that this Peter Konecny is the same person as the one in the database; the identification rests on the name and the Milwaukee location.; A city directory entry shows only name, occupation and residence, so it cannot establish a full name.
