Mary Ellen Cavanagh

Submitted by admin on Thu, 06/21/2018 - 09:00

After almost nine decades of happy stewardship, Mary Ellen Cavanagh died Saturday, June 16, at her home in Lansing. 

Mary Ellen was born Sept. 3, 1930, to Charles and Julia (Riley) Carroll and raised on the Carroll Dairy Farm in McGregor. She inherited her mother’s strength and used it in positive and nurturing ways. Mary Ellen graduated from Immaculate Conception Academy in Dubuque in 1948, and attended Iowa State Teachers College in Cedar Falls. For several years thereafter, Mary taught in the one-room schoolhouses of Clayton County: Beulah, Sny Magill and Swede Ridge. More than sixty years later, looking at a class photo from those years, she could name every student and tell a story about them.

Phase 1 of Marquette open

Submitted by admin1 on Wed, 06/20/2018 - 11:31

Stage two of construction on Marquette Road started this week, after the first phase of road—now featuring two lanes of traffic and one center turning lane—opened to travelers Tuesday. Pictured is stage 1 before the highway markings were placed late last week. Also, topsoil was graded and seeding and erosion matting was placed next to the new sidewalk along the highway. For stage 2, crushing of the former roadway is currently underway. City officials recommend local traffic take 11th Street when trying to maneuver around the closed portion of highway, accessing businesses. This is because there are mostly controlled intersections on 11th Street. The city police department also continues to work to restrict semi truck traffic in the residential areas, though some are allowed to pass through in order to make deliveries to the businesses in the vicinity.
