Windstorm Wrecks Scotch Grove Garage Belonging to Pleuger Family
A severe wind and rain storm ripped out the west wall of a Scotch Grove garage, a 60 foot brick structure built around 1900. Owned by Will Pleuger and run by sons Irvin and Ray, it had been a creamery since March 1 after purchase from the Lange family. The storm damaged a nearby car, toppled trees, cut power for hours, and left no insurance on the building. The Pleugers are remodeling the office and clearing debris.
