Snippets about the creamery taken from History of Mt. Pleasant by Hilda Madsen Longsdorf
Ole Hansen and the Barton Brothers organized a Creamery
Company, which was the first in Mt. Pleasant, and the third in the
Territory. History of Mt. Pleasant p 172, Longsdorf
"The Mount Pleasant Creamery has been running more
pleasantly for the milk producers than for the stockholders. A
gentle man interested therein states that they had found out that
unless a sufficient supply of milk could be procured, a creamery
could not be a financial success. History of Mt. Pleasant p 179, Longsdorf
Borg and Ole Clemensen had a harness shop near the
Beaumann home, and Abner Crane had a blacksmith shop near where the
Crane home is now. Ole Hansen and Kimber Barton had a fine creamery
where the hotel is now. James Burns was the sheriff and Thomas Braby
was marshal. Mr. Oman drove the mail wagon. John Fredrick Fechser ran
the mill.
Things have changed since 1890, "we have
automobiles now," said Mr. Web Green.
History of Mt. Pleasant p 324, Longsdorf (1935)
Some of the early Main Street stores which need only be
mentioned in passing, were Brown & Acord, the creamery
stations managed by Peter Matson and Ole Hansen, and James B.
Porter's book store a block east; Tarvey's notion store, Arrowsmith
notion store, Aldrich Brothers in the Progress Building, W. O. Ash &
Company, Hardware, which started as a tin shop and developed into a
leading hardware store, located in part of the building used by the
Consolidated Furniture Company. History of Mt. Pleasant p 329 Longsdorf
