MONDAY DAILY

 

THE MAQUOKETA GIRLS  LOST THEIR TOURNAMENT GAME SATURDAY NIGHT 

TO DEWITT.    IT WAS A CLOSE GAME.  

THE  CARDINAL BOYS PLAY AT DAVENPORT ASSUMPTION TONIGHT.    LISTEN

TO THE GAME AT WWW.KMAQ.COM AND CLICK-ON THE RADIO ON THE

BOTTOM OF THE HOME PAGE.    GO CARDINALS!

A HOUSE GOES DOWN IN MAQUOKETA TODAY!

THIS HOUSE WAS TAKEN DOWN TODAY,  AT THE CORNER OF WESTERN AVENUE

AMD WEST SUMMIT STREET.    THE RANCH HOME HAS NOT BEEN LIVED IN

FOR YEARS.   WHEN I CAME TO TOWN IN 1958 IT WAS THE  HOME OF RAY KROEGER

AND HIS WIFE AND SON.     TO THE NORTH IS WHERE PART OF THE  BIG TUBB'S APPLE ORCHARD WAS LOCATED.    THE HOUSE AND PROPERTY,  OWNED BY THE CITY OF MAQUOKETA, WILL BE THE LOCATION OF A NEW STREET.      AN OUT OF TOWN FIRM

IS  BUYING THE PROPERTY FROM THE CITY AND NEARLY 30 BUILDING LOTS WILL

BE AVAILABLE.  

MY MEMORY IS NOT PERFECT ON THE KROEGER'S BUT I THINK RAY OWNED

A SALE BARN,  MAYBE OWNED SOME RACE HORSES AND WAS ACTIVE FOR MANY

YEARS ON THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIR BOARD.

CLICK-ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT.

AND THANKS TO THE NEARLY 500 PEOPLE THAT BROUGHT UP THIS WEB SITE OVER THE

WEEKEND.
