TIBEY BROTHERS
TIBEY BROTHERS. In 1913 the Tibey brothers (sons of JOHN TIBEY) operated a quarry in the southern part of Dubuque along Dodge Street. The installation of a Gates No. 4 crusher allowed them by 1913 to produce 250 cubic yards of crushed rock daily. (2)
In addition to the quarry and masonry work, the brothers established Tibey Brothers' Paving Contractors.
The 1899-1900 Dubuque City Directory gave 401 Cleveland.
The 1911-12 Dubuque City Directory listed the corner of Dodge and S. Dodge.
