In personal letters, Dubuque referred to a "Madam Dubuque."  He is believed to have married Potosa, the daughter of Chief [[PEOSTA]]. The fact that no mention of a wife was made during the months settling his estate has given many to consider that if a wife existed she was a Native American who returned to her tribe after his death.

The origins of name for Potsi, Wisconsin include the Spanish word for lead, a corruption of the s who ''Native American name of a settler's wife'', and Potosi, Missouri, where some early miners originated. The assumption of the settler's wife is not too remote. Potosi was founded in 1841 from three older villages in the region once occupied by the [[SAUK AND FOX]].

(4)		One year after opening, Capra had $300 million in assets and employed an estimated fifty people. The announcement was also made that the bank was looking to expand into the New Mexico market. (4)

			Dubuque-based Capra Bank was the fastest-growing bank with assets under $3 billion in the country from 2023 to 2025, according to a recent analysis. The bank also passed $1 billion in assets two and a half years after launching. When the bank crossed $1 billion in assets, officials gave every employee a $10,000 check and covered the taxes on it, in addition to their incentive compensation bonuses. That totaled about 60 to 70 employees across the bank’s three branches.

			In 2026, for the second consecutive year, Capra Bank was named the fastest-growing bank in the country with assets under $3 billion by financial services firm Raymond James. The bank’s assets grew 296% from 2023 to 2025, according to Raymond James. Its loans grew 411%, the fastest rate among banks with under $3 billion in assets. The bank’s deposits grew 305% over the two-year span.

			The bank did not purchase any other banks to grow its assets. Growth through recruiting, hiring and motivating teams of bankers.

			Capra Bank seeks to combine technology with high-quality bankers and build relationships, Fuller said. It also focuses on lending to local clients, meaning the bank will only lend money to someone with a tie to one of the bank’s three locations. (4)

[[Image:bikelanes.png|left|thumb|250px|Photo courtesy: Telegraph Herald]]BICYCLE LANES. The Dubuque City Council during the first week of June, 2024 unanimously approved a bicycle lane pilot program as part of an estimated $250,000 citywide pavement striping project program done regularly to maintain its streets. The bicycle lanes would be sprayed on the pavement in July providing bike riders increased protection and visibility as they maneuver through the downtown area.

The pilot program would involve for sections of Ninth Street going downhill from Bluff Street to the east and a parallel section on 19th Street going uphill to the west one block away. The two sections were to be connected by pavement marked for shared bicycle-car traffic going north and south on Main and Elm [[STREETS]]. Funding for the project included $25,000 from the Iowa Department of Transportation with the remainder coming from city funds.

As a pilot program lasting two years, the bicycle lanes would only be temporary. (1)

The first lanes were eastbound-marked lanes on Ninth Street for two-wheelers. They were followed with dedicated lanes on 10th Street headed west. "Sharrows" on Main Street and Eighth Street indicated lanes that would be shared by cars and bikes. A contractor installed bike lane signs as well as "Yield to Bike" signs. In 2025 city officials planned to use help connect the east end of these new bike lanes near the Jule central bus station with the [[BEE BRANCH]] multi-use pathway by way of Pine Street. This addition would provide direct connections to Heritage Trail, the levee bIke trail, and trails out to and around [[CHAPLAIN SCHMITT ISLAND]]. In 2024 bike lanes were also being considered as part of the Central Avenue and White Street overhaul, on Elm Street and East 16th Street, and potentially on Bluff and Locust [[STREETS]] or Lincoln Avenue or Kerper Boulevard out to the Point area. Councilman David Resnik even suggested a bike path connecting the [[MINES OF SPAIN]] recreation area to the City of Asbury along South Grandview and Asbury Road which he would name "Grandbury Corridor."

Data on the use of the lanes would be collected with traffic cameras. (2)

In May, 2026 the Dubuque City Council approved plans to extend the Bee Branch Trail.The new section of trail would run parallel to the Highway 151 on-ramp from Ninth to 12th Street. Bike lanes would also be added on Ninth and 10th streets, along with shared lane markings on Elm, Main and Eighth. Sidewalks around these areas would be expanded leaving room for the bike lanes.

The project is estimated to cost about $308,000 with a federal grant covering $215,000. (3)

	In 1900 vandals pulled the Cogswell statue from its base. Some thought they buried it under excavations for a new sidewalk. The ''Dubuque Herald'' reported the statue was "removed and stowed away." The next day concrete was poured ~~over the site entombing the object but~~ setting into motion decades of theories if the statue would one day be uncovered.

	The remaining butterfly mussel populations in the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] are jeopardized by the continuing decline in habitat conditions associated with the river's USE as a navigation canal and sediment pollution. Dams, channelization, and dredging increase siltation and block the movement of fish hosts. The butterfly is also impacted by non-native [[ZEBRA MUSSELS]] in the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Zebra mussels can attach in large numbers to the shells of native mussels, eventually causing death by suffocation.
