Anyone know of my G'ma Nettie Masscey/Massey? She worked at a meat factory in Dubuque late 50's-early 60's? Her father was Thomas RANNALS and her mother was Adelian Anna "ANNIE" BARKLEY. What could that meat factory have been called, where is/was it? Thanks for any help. Mary Lou

Hi I believe the meat factory was called Dubuque Packing CO. My father worked there also.

Mary Lou, The meat factory you are referring to was most likely the Dubuque Pack. Among other things, they were famous for their Floure de Lei hams. They were sold and later closed most of their packing lines. At one time, they were second only to John Deere as the Dubuque employer. There was also a smaller company, Trenkles, that was primarily a sausage maker. I think your factory was most likely the Dubuque pack. jiminal ----- Original Message ----- From: <baby.lou@att.net> To: <IADUBUQU-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 2:31 PM Subject: [Dub'que] Nettie Eliza (RANNALS) MASSCEY/MASSEY > Anyone know of my G'ma Nettie Masscey/Massey?
