Hoeven Fund

The Frank Hoeven - Lake Ripley Fund is to be an endowment-type fund. The fund is designed for improvements to Lake Ripley and the Lake Ripley Park.


Mr. Hoeven, a retired machinist and active Mason and Shriner at the time of his death on October 18, 1994, was the brother of former Cambridge resident Ruth Tost, and Dorothy Prante. Although a resident of Illinois, he enjoyed the years spent at his cottage on Lake Ripley.

Mr. Hoeven's love of Lake Ripley lives on through his generosity of a permanent fund to benefit Lake Ripley in perpetuity.
