Radue's Resort
This resort is on Big St. Germain
Lake and also held the summer home of
William Radue,
who owned 3000' of frontage at the time. He purchased
this in 1946 for 50¢ a shoreline foot.
Radue eventually sold the resort to Voek (first
name unknown) for $5.00 a shoreline foot. The new
owner renamed the place Voek's Resort. In time, he sold
it to
Paul Manhardt. Paul
changed the name to Clear View Resort (Clear View
eventually merges into Clearview). When Paul passed
away, his son-in-law,
Barney Anderson,
continued to operate it. It went through a few owners
after that. "Bo"
and
Laurie Bodecker
leased it for a time. The resort was purchased again
and condoed and the supper club was purchased by
Frank Ignatius.
Frank and his wife,
Gloria,
turned it into one of the most popular eating places in
the area. They operated it for eight years, then it was
purchased by the Fath family, who also own Fath's Big
Woods Resort on Big St. Germain Lake. |

Rux's Standard Station
Rux's
Standard Station is long gone, but it was located on the
site across from the red brick grade school where the
Subway now sits. It was built and operated by
Clarence Rux
and was the third commercial building in what is now the
mall and junction area. This picture was taken from the
Chamber of Commerce.
The small trailer on the
site is Jeannes Weinies which is no longer there.
