La Crosse Public Library staff selected the following subjects to highlight from the La Crosse Area Clipping File. While these include just a taste of the vast materials available at the Library, we invite you to please contact us with any specific question you may have about the La Crosse area. Our thanks to the La Crosse Tribune for their permission in bringing you these materials.  We tried to create printable images and the paper size and orientation are given after the title of the article.

Because these are links to images, your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 7.0+) may automatically shrink the images. You can then leave your cursor over the image and a tool bar will appear and you can then resize the image.

Terry A. Dolowy Murder:

One of the Coulee Region’s unsolved murders is that of 24 year-old Terry A. Dolowy of Barre Mills, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.  On February 14, 1985, Dolowy was reported missing from her Bostwick Valley Trailer Court mobile home by her boyfriend Russell Lee.  Days later, on Feb. 18, passersby found her headless, burning body near a culvert on Mohawk Valley Road in Vernon County.  Her head and her white poodle Suzie were never recovered.  No one has yet been convicted as her killer.
