Kewaskum, WI – It was 2015 when Mike Paul submitted this note: On Sunday, May 31, we will retire bid card No.1. The wonderful lady that has held it since 1969 has decided at age 98 to give up driving, sell her house and move in with her kid sister, age 93.
Isabelle and her late husband Al typically arrived at our auctions before even my parents showed up and were always first in line for a bid number. One time, for reasons no one remembers, they were late to the sale and No. 1 was issued to somebody else. Not well received.Click HERE to SUBSCRIBE to FREE local news at

A hasty discussion between Mom & Dad established that the Muckerheides would permanently be number one. And they have been, for the last 46 years. We’ll have a cake, present her with a little something and start the first of the final two or three auctions we’ll be conducting for her over the next several months. Time moves on.
