&lt;div&gt;[[Image:lukef.png|left|thumb|250px|]]LYNN, Luke W. (Dubuque, IA, March 17, 1988-- ) An American composer of film music, video game music, and concert music, Flynn is most widely known for his composition &#039;&#039;Rift&#039;&#039;, for orchestra, which won multiple prestigious awards and was performed by symphonies in four continents. His &#039;&#039;Beneath the Wave&#039;&#039;, for SATB chorus, was recorded by the LA Choral Lab for an album that earned Grammy Award consideration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the film industry, he composed the scores for several movies, including &#039;&#039;Holmes and Watson&#039;&#039; (2018); his film music credits include numerous other titles, such as &#039;&#039;Frozen II&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;La La Land&#039;&#039;. He was an orchestrator of music for &amp;quot;The Simpsons,&amp;quot; and prepared music for such television programs as &amp;quot;The Mandalorian,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Family Guy,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;American Dad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A graduate of [[STEPHEN HEMPSTEAD HIGH SCHOOL]] in 2003, Flynn took a few years off and then began his study of music at [[CLARKE UNIVERSITY]]. While still a student at Clarke, he began to take additional studies in composition  at 鹿児島国際大学, the International University of Kagoshima in Japan, with Japanese composer Tadashi Kubo. During this time he met his future wife, Risa. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flynn graduated summa cum laude from Clarke University where he studied with Amy Dunker. He became the first student to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in composition and was the recipient of the Francis J. O&#039;Connor Memorial Award, among the most prestigious honors for a graduating senior.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flynn pursued a master&#039;s degree summa cum laude in composition at Butler University where he studied with Michael Schelle and was a graduate assistant in both music composition and music technologies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After living in California, Flynn and his family returned to the Dubuque area in 2019. He created a home studio in Asbury, and announced that he would take on teaching opportunities at [[LORAS COLLEGE]] in the fall of 2021.

Funding to provide this online resource came from a competitive award established by The City of Dubuque to encourage community-based groups participation in the city&#039;s 175th anniversary. Submitting the encyclopedia as a proposal were Michael May and the staff of the Carnegie-Stout Public Library. This project was unanimously approved by the Dubuque City Council as one of 10 to receive funding. There were 46 grant applications received. &#039;&#039;&#039;Encyclopedia Dubuque&#039;&#039;&#039; was continuously revised and updated by [[LYON, Randolph W.|Randolph W. LYON]], author of the reference book, &#039;&#039;&#039;Dubuque: The Encyclopedia&#039;&#039;&#039;, the basis of this website. The one-millionth reference &amp;quot;hit&amp;quot; on the Encyclopedia was recorded in early October, 2024.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January, 2025 the title of editor / publisher of the &#039;&#039;&#039;Encyclopedia Dubuque&#039;&#039;&#039; was entrusted to Michael Day, one of the Tri-States&#039; premier historical researchers and authors. A TH employee since 1987, Day&#039;s qualifications include being the project editor for &#039;&#039;Telegraph Herald&#039;&#039; books. This includes &#039;&#039;&#039;The &#039;50s&#039;&#039;&#039; Vol. 1 and 2. &#039;&#039;&#039;The &#039;60s&#039;&#039;&#039; Volume 1 received the prestigious Gold Addy Award from the American Advertising Federation Dubuque. Day served as the writer, photographer, and designer of such &#039;&#039;Telegraph Herald&#039;&#039; magazines as &#039;&#039;&#039;The Tri-States&#039; One-Room Schools&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;The Tri-States&#039; Ballrooms &amp;amp; Bands.&#039;&#039;&#039; Each of these publications received the coveted Iowa Newspaper Association&#039;s 1st Place Award for Best Special Section and the State Historical Society of Iowa&#039;s George Mills &amp;amp; Louise Noun Popular History Award. Day&#039;s &amp;quot;Drive-In Days&amp;quot; received the Associated Press Managing Editors&#039; 3rd Place Award for General Feature Story. &amp;quot;The Legend of Kimball Park&amp;quot; received the Associated Press Managing Editors&#039; 1st Place Award for General Feature Story. In 2026 Mike Day, senior editorial artist / designer, received the prestigious Ken Fuson Best Writing Award, given annually to the single best piece of writing across all of Iowa&#039;s newspapers. Michael has contributed significantly to the Encyclopedia&#039;s photographic collection over many years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The research and writing would mean little if the website did not have expert attention from staff at the Carnegie-Stout Public Library. For this our sincere appreciation goes to Michael May, Michael Kerth and the staff of the [[CARNEGIE-STOUT PUBLIC LIBRARY]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In many instances, photographs come to us that are in need of technical work so that they may be usable. In these instances, we have turned repeatedly to [[HOELSCHER, Larry|Larry HOELSCHER]] whose knowledge in &amp;quot;all things computer&amp;quot; is vast. We owe him our immense gratitude for allowing many priceless photographs to charm our pages.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:rhwahlert.jpg|left|thumb|250px|]]WAHLERT, Robert Henry. (Dubuque, IA, Jan, 19, 1939--Dubuque, IA, Aug. 6, 2022). President, [[FDL FOODS INC.]] The son of [[WAHLERT, Robert C.|Robert C. WAHLERT]] and Celeste Wahlert, Robert worked at the [[DUBUQUE PACKING COMPANY]] as a high school honor student. While attending [[LORAS ACADEMY]], he participated in student government and edited the school newspaper, the &#039;&#039;Crest&#039;&#039;. He received a bachelor of science degree in commerce (major in business) from the University of Iowa in 1961. The same year, he married Donna Allendorf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wahlert&#039;s employment in the company included serving as a sales trainee, advertising manager, and finally president of sales. He became the executive vice-president in 1973. Upon the retirement of [[WAHLERT, Robert C.|Robert C. WAHLERT]], his father in 1977, Wahlert became the chairman of the board. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid growing labor unrest, it was announced on May 30, 1982, that Wahlert would be in charge of labor relations.  In 1982 when efforts to find a buyer for the Dubuque plant were unsuccessful, Wahlert bought the pork operation, Dubuque plant, and the fleur-de-lis trademark of the ailing [[DUBUQUE PACKING COMPANY]] for $30.5 million and established FDL, Inc. He operated FDL until its sale to [[FARMLAND FOODS INC.]] in 1996. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of Dubuque&#039;s most notable local philanthropists, Wahlert assumed responsibility for the [[WAHLERT FOUNDATION]] when his father stepped down from active management in the early 1980s. Robert H. Wahlert served on the board of trustees of [[CLARKE COLLEGE]] and the Clarke Development Council; finance committee of the Dubuque Metropolitan Board of Education; board of directors of the Epworth Savings Bank, a division of the Iowa National Investment Company of Dubuque; director of [[FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF DUBUQUE]]; and director of [[KEY CITY BANK AND TRUST COMPANY]]. He was the city fundraising campaign coordinator for [[WAHLERT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL]], secretary-treasurer of the [[DUBUQUE GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB]] and board of trustees, director of the American Meat Institute, fundraising chairman of the [[DUBUQUE MUSEUM OF ART]], and member of Dubuque County Right for Life and the Five Flags Commission. (2) A life-long member of [[ST. COLUMBKILLE CATHOLIC CHURCH]], he was a Eucharistic minister. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 Wahlert joined two others from Dubuque in testifying before a United States House subcommittee on their belief that a four lane U. S. 20 was vital to Dubuque&#039; future. (4) &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:ihouse.jpg|left|thumb|350px|]]I-HOUSES. The I-house, a vernacular type of house, was popular in the United States from the colonial period onward. The I-house was so named in the 1930s by Fred Kniffen, a cultural geographer at Louisiana State University who was a specialist in folk architecture. He identified and analyzed the type in his 1936 study of Louisiana house types. He chose the name &amp;quot;I-house&amp;quot; because of its common occurrence in the rural farm areas of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, all states beginning in the letter &amp;quot;I&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I-houses generally featured gables to the side and at least two rooms in length, one room deep, and two full stories in height. They also often had a rear wing or &amp;quot;ell&amp;quot; for a kitchen or additional space. The facade of an I-house tends to be symmetrical, and they were constructed in a variety of materials including logs, wood frame, brick or stone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This style was found in [[LITTLE DUBLIN]]. This style allowed homes to be constructed on shallow lots like those once squeezed between South Locust Street and the bluff.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Image:finleycard.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Photo courtesy: Diane Harris]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FINLEY, John. (Charlotte, NC, June 15, 1807,--Dubuque, IA, Aug. 3, 1877). Finley&#039;s interest in the advancement of medical knowledge led to the founding of the [[FINLEY HOSPITAL (THE)]]. Finley came to Dubuque in 1836. He has been considered the city&#039;s first general surgeon and the second permanent physician in the county and State of Iowa. (1) As a frontier doctor, Finley often traveled by horseback over fifty miles to other settlements. He served three years as a physician in the 27th Iowa Voluntary Infantry (Union Army) during the [[CIVIL WAR]] before returning to Dubuque to resume his practice. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finley hoped that his collection of medical books would become the basis of a medical library, but all efforts to establish a medical school were unsuccessful. Finley&#039;s attempt to establish [[ALEXANDER COLLEGE]], which he envisioned as the best college west of the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]], were slightly more successful, but that college too did not survive. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finley, held in great respect by his colleagues and the community, was instrumental in the formation of the [[NORTHWEST MEDICAL SOCIETY]] on January 11, 1853. The Society, a group of eight physicians, originally met at the [[CITY HOTEL]]. Finley was also the senior member of Finley, Burton and Company (a white [[LEAD]] and paint factory). (3) He held valuable holdings in banking and [[MINING]]. Finley also served as a trustee of First Presbyterian Church (now [[WESTMINSTER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH]]). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finley died of a brain tumor at the age of seventy, leaving his entire estate to his wife, Helen. In her will, Mrs. Finley specified that a hospital be built in memory of her husband. (4) At her death and that of the last of the beneficiaries, the entire estate became property of the hospital. This included the northeast corner of Main and 7th occupied by store of James Hervey, A. R. Knights &amp;amp; Company, T. E. Anders and the &#039;&#039;Daily Telegraph&#039;&#039;, the store occupied by W. H. Torbert and other pieces of property of less value around town. (5) The income from the property in 1897 was $6,000 annually (equal to $171,428.57 in 2014 dollars). (6) It was thought the estate would be worth at least $100,000 ($2,857,142.86 in 2014 dollars) when it went to the hospital.

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Gallop.png|left|thumb|350px|2006. Photo courtesy: Telegraph Herald]]GRANDVIEW GALLOP. The inaugural event began at [[MURPHY PARK]] and continued along Grandview Avenue. Lighten Up Iowa members and kids were charged $10.00. Adults and others were changed $15.00. On the day of the event, the fee became $25.00. Entrants received a tee-shirt and refreshments. Those interested were asked to contact Darryl ZMOLEK or Greg Hermiston. (1) More than 400 participated in the event. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2024 construction on the South Grandview overpass led the route of the run to be altered. The run had always started and finished at Murphy Park, but now instead of the turnaround occurring at [[WASHINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL]] the race began at Murphy Park and then headed east around the buildings at Mount Carmel Bluffs. Participants then headed west on South Grandview west Murphy Park to Julien Dubuque Drive for another turnaround. This path on South Grandview passed Murphy Park and repeated the Mount Carmel Bluffs part of the run ending at Murphy Park. The integrity of the four-mile race in 2025 was maintained with a minimum change in elevation. (3) The one-mile youth run was started at 7:30 a.m. The adult run started at 8:00 a.m.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Gallop2.png|right|thumb|350px|2006. Photo courtesy: Telegraph Herald]]In 2026 there were 425 adult participants, an increase of about 150. Much of the 2026 course reverted returned to its original path, but race organizers did reincorporate the Mount Carmel loop. (4)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Gallop.png|left|thumb|350px|2006. Photo courtesy: Telegraphj Herald]]GRANDVIEW GALLOP. The inaugural event began at [[MURPHY PARK]] and continued along Grandview Avenue. Lighten Up Iowa members and kids were charged $10.00. Adults and others were changed $15.00. On the day of the event, the fee became $25.00. Entrants received a tee-shirt and refreshments. Those interested were asked to contact [[ZMOLEK, Darryl|Darryl ZMOLEK]] or Greg Hermiston. (1) More than 400 participated in the event. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2024 construction on the South Grandview overpass led the route of the run to be altered. The run has always started and finished at Murphy Park, but now instead of the turnaround occurring at [[WASHINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL]] the race began at Murphy Park and then headed east around the buildings at Mount Carmel Bluffs. Participants then headed west on South Grandview west Murphy Park to Julien Dubuque Drive for another turnaround. This path on South Grandview passed Murphy Park and repeated the Mount Carmel Bluffs part of the run ending at Murphy Park. The integrity of the four-mile race was maintained with a minumum change in elevation. (3)&lt;br /&gt;

HYDRANT PAINTING. Dubuque&#039;s efforts to beautiful its parks and spruce-up its fire hydrants resulted in the city winning two awards in a statewide contest. Dubuque won fourth place among the largest cities for its beautification and fire-hydrant painting projects and first place among cities its size for efforts to involve youth in the projects. Dubuque won $100 in each category. Dubuque and Burr Oak were the only communities to win prizes in both categories. (1) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hydrant painting, sponsored by the Dubuque Beautification Committee and the Dubuque Bicentennial Commission, was a special activity of Dubuque&#039;s celebration of the Bicentennial. Only certain colors of non-leaded glossy enamel could be used. All contestants had to register and submit entry designs for approval before painting could begin. (2)  The The top winners of the contest, promoted in 1975 by the Dubuque Beautification Committee and the Dubuque Bicentennial Commission included the James Williamson family-Betsy Ross on Bennett and Algona (1776-1826 category), Paula Puls-soldier figure at Asbury and Mullin (1826-1876 category), Lori and Elaine Kueper-farm girl (1876--1926 category), Betty Schrobilgen and Carol Trowbridge-Wizard of Oz Scarecrow in front of the water tower on West Third (1926-1976 category), and Kathy McElihiney-John Deere workers on South gate (Dubuque history category). (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each of these contestants won twenty-five dollars. More than three thousand Dubuque residents participated and painted 1,205 of the 1,601 fire hydrants in the city. Pittsburg Paints distributed 3,700 one-half pints of paint worth an estimated $5,000. The company ran out of paint at least once and had to reorder.  (4)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The contest drew nationwide review as an article on the event appeared in an August issue &#039;&#039;Newsweek&#039;&#039; magazine with an article and photos. (5)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;HOSPICE OF DUBUQUE. In 1981, a group of nurses saw a need for specialized end-of-life care in this community and began organizing a new non-profit organization, Hospice of Dubuque. One of the nurses began training other nurses in her home through death and dying workshops held twice a week for four weeks. (1) In May, 1983, Hospice of Dubuque began serving the Dubuque County terminally ill and their caregivers. Volunteers provided care until the first staff member was hired in 1987. Medicare and Medicaid certification was attained in 1990 and care by the Hospice Interdisciplinary Team was fully developed. In 1995 Hospice of Dubuque continued to respond to the needs of the greater Dubuque community by becoming licensed to serve families in Illinois, followed by Wisconsin licensure in 1997. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tree of Life memorial service honored and remembered friends and family. With every donation, loved ones were assigned a light on the Hospice tree in [[WASHINGTON PARK]] and their names were printed in the program. The tree remained lit for about two weeks. (2) In 2026 the program celebrated its 30th anniversary. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009 a staff of approximately sixty members served clients in the tri-state area. To better care for its clients, Hospice purchased property along John F. Kennedy Road that was once Steve&#039;s Ace Hardware. Construction on a new facility began in the fall of 2009 once road work along Kennedy and Pennsylvania was completed in October.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The number of families served annually has increased. In addition to the organization’s growth, Hospice of Dubuque’s responsiveness could also be measured by its high referral conversion rate. Ninety-four percent (94%) of the patients referred to Hospice of Dubuque were admitted into the program which compared to the referral conversion rates of 80% nationally and 81% in the state of Iowa. Hospice of Dubuque’s care, when measured by national benchmark data, exceeds both the state and national levels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hospice affirmed life and recognized dying as a part of the process of living. The organization existed to provide support and care for persons with a life-limiting diagnosis so that they might live as fully and comfortably as possible. Hospice neither hastened nor postponed death. Hospice existed in the hope and belief that through appropriate care and the promotion of a caring community sensitive to their needs, patients and their families would be helped through the process of dying and grieving.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hospice of Dubuque was incorporated as a tax-exempt corporation in 1982 under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code and cared for the Dubuque area’s terminally ill and their loved ones since 1983. As the community’s not-for-profit hospice, Hospice of Dubuque focused upon its mission of providing compassionate care to the terminally ill and their loved ones. The organization was governed by a voluntary Board of Directors comprised of community members.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 Dr. Mark Hermann, medical director for Hospice, received the American Cancer Society Lane W. Adams Quality of Life Award. The award &amp;quot;recognizes individuals who consistently exhibit excellence and compassion in providing care to cancer patients, going beyond their duties to make a difference in the life of cancer patients and their families.&amp;quot; (4)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hospice of Dubuque in 2017 served 865 patients and families. That was an increase of nearly 15% over the past year.  The agency served all of Dubuque County, parts of Delaware, Jackson and Jones counties in Iowa; parts of Jo Daviess County, Illinois; and parts of Grant and Lafayette counties in Wisconsin. Although Hospice provided end-of-life care to patients of any age, 66% were at least 80 years old. (5)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hospice celebrated its forty years of service to the community, signs of growth were everywhere. The first staff member, Barbara Zoeller, was hired in 1987.  When the current executive director in 2023 was hired in 1990, there were fewer than ten employees. In 2013 Hospice had 70 employees and more more volunteers. Patients can choose their level of care from an organization with a team of physicians, nurses, social workers, a chaplain, hospice aides, a pharmacist, a dietician, bereavement services and several kinds of therapists.

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:cott.jpg|left|thumb|350px|]]COTTINGHAM AND BUTLER, INC. Cottingham and Butler, Inc. is a commercial and casualty insurance brokerage and claim administration firm.  The company&#039;s founder, Dixon Cottingham, was born April 16, 1840, in Gunnerside, Swaledale, Yorkshire, England, the son of Dixon Cottingham and Isabelle Metcalfe.  At the age of nine, Dixon started working in the mines of Yorkshire, and at the age of thirteen came to America with his family settling in Big Patch, Wisconsin in May 1853.  Dixon Cottingham married Barbara White, whom he had lived near as a child, and together they had twelve children, six boys and six girls.  After serving in the Wisconsin Voluntary Infantry in the [[CIVIL WAR]], Dixon moved with his family to Dubuque. It was here that he owned and operated a farm while starting his own insurance agency. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The D. Cottingham &amp;amp; Son Insurance Agency, owned and operated by Dixon Cottingham and his son, [[COTTINGHAM, John D.|John D. COTTINGHAM]] was established in 1887.  These founding fathers were the great grandfather and grandfather respectively of current CEO, John E. Butler.  The agency&#039;s main focus when founded was to offer insurance to individuals in the community. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis Butler married John Cottingham&#039;s daughter, Barbara, in 1929 and went to work for his father-in-law&#039;s agency in 1931. John Cottingham&#039;s daughter, Margaret Welch, was also working with the agency and provided critical assistance to the struggling business in the early years of the Great Depression. It was the influence of Ellis Butler during his years at Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. that eventually moved the company in the direction of focusing on the larger commercial business insurance accounts.  Ellis&#039; wife, Barbara Cottingham Butler, though never an employee at the agency played a strong supporting role in the development of the business. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis and Barbara&#039;s three sons eventually followed their father into the family business.  John and Peter entered the company in the late 1950s with the youngest son, Tim, joining the company in 1971.  John followed the direction of the commercial insurance division and became CEO of Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc.  Peter Butler served as the president of Butler Services Company, a separate entity of Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. Butler Services functioned as poultry insurance managing underwriters for Fireman&#039;s Fund for many years until Peter retired.  Tim Butler worked with John and served as Vice President of Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. until his retirement in 1997. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. continued its focus on commercial business through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  With John Butler&#039;s leadership and the strong support of his wife, Alice, the 1980s brought a new dimension to the company with the founding of Self Insured Services Company (SISCO) in 1980,  an affiliate of Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. SISCO, a third party claim administration company, managed employee benefit plans as well as workers&#039; compensation claims for companies throughout the United States.  In 1997, SISCO was the 17th largest third party claims administrator in the country as noted in &#039;&#039;Society of Professional Benefit Administrators.&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1990s saw John Butler&#039;s continued commitment as further growth opportunities were created with the establishment of HEALTHCORP, Safety Management Services Company, and Community Based Health Plans.  In 1992 Safety Management Services Company was founded to provide loss control and other safety services to clients in a number of different industries.  This staff of trained safety professionals worked to keep companies up-to-date with OSHA compliance regulations and offered loss control seminars. HEALTHCORP, established in 1993, provided managed care to employee benefit groups being serviced and to the company&#039;s self-insured workers&#039; compensation clients.  A staff of medical professionals, including a doctor and registered nurses, were the basis of this affiliate group. In 1997, Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. noted the start of another affiliate, Community Based Health Plans. This division served self-insured benefit clients as a link to regional and national health care programs and alliances.  In addition, they developed preferred provider organizations in partnership with the providers in many other communities. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The picture of Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. is an ever changing portrait of family heritage, company growth, and long-term success. Since its establishment in 1887, Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. became one of the nation&#039;s foremost commercial property and casualty insurance brokerage firms. In 1997 Cottingham &amp;amp; Butler, Inc. along with its affiliate companies employed more than four hundred people.  John Butler was joined in the business by his two children, Susan Butler and Andrew Butler. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2015 Cottingham and Butler, the 37th largest insurance broker in the United States with 625 employees nationwide, announced plans to add ninety new positions in Dubuque over the next three years. The company planned to lease an additional floor at 1000 Main to accommodate the expanded workforce. The additions, dependent upon the approval of local job-training funds and state incentives, would result in the companies workforce increasing to about 550. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
News of further expansion came in April 2016. Company officials announced that an additional ninety local jobs would be added in the next three years with expansion into the Roshek Building. The job additions would result in the workforce reaching approximately 640 employees. (4)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2017, officials of the company announced the company would hire twenty employees to its Dubuque operation over the next three years. This was tied to a $2.3 million renovation of the second floor in the headquarters at 800 Main St. The company had 875 employees nationwide in a half dozen cities including Chicago, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; and San Diego, California with 650 in Dubuque. (5)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2019, Cottingham and Butler was the 25th largest insurance broker in the United States with 1,000 employees--700 of which were in Dubuque. The company had on average, over the preceding 30 years, 12% annual growth. With growth came the need for additional space. In 2019 the firm occupied office space in the O&#039;Connor &amp;amp; Thomas building at 1000 Main St, Town Clock Building at 825 Main St., and the company headquarters at 800 Main. With no intention of vacating these premises, the firm announced a partnership with [[HEARTLAND FINANCIAL USA, INC.]] on November 29, 2019 to purchase the landmark [[DUBUQUE BUILDING]] for an estimated $12 million. (6)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company announced on June 3, 2026 that it had surpassed $1` million in scholarships awarded to the children of employees. The scholarship program began in the late 1990s and has been awarded to more than 360 high school seniors. Each recipient earns a $3,000 scholarship art a twp- or four-year educational institution. In 2026. 31 students who planned to attend 18 different schools were awarded scholarships through the program. (7)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:TOKEN-1.png|left|thumb|150px|]]WOODEN NICKELS. [[SCRIP]] and tokens have been issued locally in times of severe economic distress such as financial crises and the [[CIVIL WAR]]. During the [[GREAT DEPRESSION]], a local bank in Tenino, Washington, issued emergency currency printed on thin shingles of wood. Blaine, Washington, soon did the same with both flat scrip and, in response to requests generated by news and word of mouth, coins that included a 5-cent piece. The Chicago World&#039;s Fair in 1933 issued wooden nickels as souvenirs, and the tradition of wooden nickels as tokens and souvenirs continues to the present day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In more recent times, wooden nickel trading has become more popular. Individuals can have their own personalized token made and then trade with others who also have had their own made. This is especially popular in geocaching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:don&#039;t.jpg|left|thumb|150px|]]An American adage, &amp;quot;Don&#039;t take any wooden nickels&amp;quot; is considered a lighthearted reminder to be cautious in one&#039;s dealings. This adage, too, precedes the use of wooden nickels as a replacement currency, suggesting that its origins lie not in the genuine monetary value of nickels but rather in their purely commemorative nature. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May, 2026 Dubuque [[FARMERS&#039; MARKET]] organizers asked customers to exchange wooden tokens after discovering counterfeit tokens were used at previous markets. Small wooden tokens were used at the market as currency with all vendors to reduce any discrepancy in cash and card use. However, the token system is being suspended after $55 in counterfeit tokens were discovered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The market is halting all sales of the tokens immediately, offering to replace any previously purchased tokens at its May 23 market. All customers were asked exchange their wooden tokens for temporary plastic yellow tokens as organizers worked with sponsors to provide a more permanent alternative. The market is working with [[DUTRAC COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION]] to offer a mobile ATM at the May 23 market while Farm Bureau Insurance services helped develop a more permanent solution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iowa’s oldest farmers’ market operated every Saturday morning from 7 a.m. to noon May through September and from 8 a.m. to noon in October.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:gleed1859.jpg|left|thumb|250px|1859 advertisement in city directory.]]AMBROSE GLEED. The 1861 &#039;&#039;&#039;Dubuque City Directory&#039;&#039;&#039; listed 13th between Clay and Iowa.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1865 through 1868-69 &#039;&#039;&#039;Dubuque City Directory&#039;&#039;&#039; gave the address for this business as 75 Main. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the June 18, 1874 &#039;&#039;Dubuque Herald&#039;&#039;, Gleed intended to end his liquor business by November 1, 1874. State law gave dealers no redress to purchasers who refused to pay their bills. (1) By August he was a brewer of malt liquor. In leaving the liquor trade, the &#039;&#039;Dubuque Herald&#039;&#039; reminded its readers, the federal government lost &amp;quot;one of its best customers.&amp;quot; His U.S. taxes on sales in 1873 had been $45,000. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12, 1875, Gleed opened a store on Main and Second for the sale of liquors in broken packages, cash-on-delivery. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1874-1875 &#039;&#039;&#039;Dubuque City Directory&#039;&#039;&#039; stated that this business was located at 205 Main. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The 1870-1871 and 1873-74 &#039;&#039;&#039;Dubuque City Directory&#039;&#039;&#039; gave the address of this business as 25 Main. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On May 14, 1873 according to the &#039;&#039;Quad-City Times&#039;&#039; a half dozen on his customers from the Quad Cities had their stocks of liquor they had bought from him seized or they had been jailed.

On December 4, 1874 a fire at his brewery destroyed 5,000 bushels of barley. The loss was estimated at $30,000 and he carried $15,000 worth of insurance. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter published locally in 1879 Gleed mentioned living in Sydney, New South Wales. He was beginning the manufacture of vinegar. (4)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1880 Gleed, his wife and two daughters were living in Australia. (5)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inquest into his death in Redwood City where he was recuperating, a newspaper article stated that Gleed, a wealthy landowner in San Francisco, had died of heart failure.

GLEED, Ambrose (Gloucester, England, May 22, 1831--Menlo Park, CA, Apr, 29, 1896) Gleed came to the United States on September 28, 1849 and lived in Buffalo, New York through 1855 when he moved in Dubuque. (1)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 14, 1873  according to the Quad-City Times a half dozen on his customers from the Quad Cities had their stocks of liquor they had bought from him seized or had been jailed. Gleed, a British subject, intended to file a suit in the United States States court on the ground that the State had no right to forbid what the general government licensed. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 4, 1874 a fire at his brewery destroyed 5,000 bushels of barley. The loss was estimated at $30,000 and he carried $15,000 worth of insurance. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the inquest into his death in Redwood City where he was recuperating, a newspaper article stated that Gleed, a wealthy landowner in San Francisco, had died of heart failure. (4) His survivors included his two married daughters--Mrs. Fannie Halasberry of San Francisco and Mrs. Frank Haswell of Sacramento. (5)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:peosta2.jpeg|left|thumb|450px|Peosta&#039;s gravesite.]]PEOSTA. Believed to have been the father of [[POTOSA]], a [[SAUK AND FOX]] woman and wife of [[DUBUQUE, Julien|Julien DUBUQUE]], who made several discoveries of [[LEAD]] in the area of the [[MINES OF SPAIN]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bones believed to be the body of Peosta were discovered in 1897 when the [[DUBUQUE EARLY SETTLERS&#039; ASSOCIATION]] began construction of its monument to Julien Dubuque. The workmen found the bones of a short white man, a tall Native American and the skull of a Native American woman. Those directing the work including [[HERRMANN, Richard|Richard HERRMANN]] presumed the bones to be those of Peosta because the Fox chief had asked to be buried with his white friend. The skull was believed to be that of Potosa. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the completion of the monument, Dubuque&#039;s bones were reburied, but the remains of Peosta were wired together and kept in the [[HERRMANN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY]]. (1) Beginning in 1966 his skeleton was displayed at the [[HAM HOUSE]] Museum. The skull of Potosa, perhaps Dubuque&#039;s wife, was displayed, but the rest of the bones were in a bushel basket in the basement of Ham House. (2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical society members contacted Native Americans living near Tama, Iowa for suggestions. Tama Chief Lewis Mitchell suggested that Peosta had probably been given full tribal honors at the time of his first burial. It would not be necessary to repeat them. As for the reburial, the Society began the process of obtaining legal authorization to reinter the bodies near the monument. Peosta and Potosa, however, could not be buried together. Tribal custom requires that chiefs be buried separately. (3)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 12, 1973, the remains of Peosta were reburied near their original resting place. On August 20, 1973, the headstone, donated by the Light Quarries of Dubuque, was placed on the grave.&lt;br /&gt;
