The image of the original WWII draft registration card is readable. It shows Joseph John Konecny, born Feb 17, 1901 in Bohemia, living in Milwaukee, with wife Agnes. The name matches the claim, and the middle name is an addition that does not conflict with it. The card says nothing about the 1985 death.
Matches: Registrant's name is printed as Joseph John Konecny and signed "Joseph Johan Konecny", which fits the claimed name Joseph Konecny; Date of birth is Feb 17, 1901, and the age given is 40, so the birth year matches the claimed 1901; Birthplace is given as Bohemia, consistent with a Czech-origin Konecny family; Residence is Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the wife is named Agnes Konecny
Limits: The card does not give a death date, so it cannot confirm the 1985 end of the life span; The card shows a middle name (John/Johan), which the claim's name does not include; The card does not show that this Joseph Konecny is the same person as the one in the database. That link rests on the birth year and the Bohemia birthplace, and ideally on spouse information from elsewhere; The card was filled out in 1942 with the 1940-47 young men's series, so it is a snapshot of one date
