Notes


Manager of the Lyndonville Creamery in 1920 From Pauline: The creamery was located on the Passumpsic River - darned cold in winter, but Dad walked to work - a mile each way, came home for dinner, and went back in the afternoon. It was a corporation and consisted of plants in Lyndonville, Watertown, Ma. and several other towns I can't recall at the moment. They bottled milk, also condensed milk which was shipped as far as Chicago. They had several tank trucks to take the milk to Ma., an ice cream plant - the name was Lyndonville Creamery Assn. and the logo was "Speedwell Farms". It was started by TN Vail, vice pres. of Bell Tel. who had a mansion on the hill above town. His wife had teas etc. when they sent the coach and livery for the ladies of the town to come join the lady of the manor. Mom said it was very formal and elegant. A representative for Lyndon in the Vermont State Legislature, 1945. (Photo from Grandmother’s collection) Florence may have been a little unstable- left when grandpa was still young. Some Notes On The Creamery: (From https://www.gluseum.com/US/Lyndon/223096411737571/Lyndon-VT-Historical-Society) "In 1890, W. Irving Powers, clerk and treasurer & farm manager of Vail's Speedwell Farms, organized the Lyndonville Creamery. The creamery became part of a chain of 14 creameries in Vermont and New Hampshire, as well as a large branch in Boston..." W. Irving Powers,1861-1915." "A Lyndonville Company started by T.N.Vail on what is now the LSC Campus and then moved to Lyndonville. W.C. Conner 1875-1949 was General Manager of the Creamery. In 1947 the Creamery has 150 employees and 60 trucks. From Pauline: (Pauline E. Conner a daughter of W.C. Conner) "The creamery was located on the Passumpsic River - darned cold in winter, but Dad walked to work - a mile each way, came home for dinner, and went back in the afternoon. It was a corporation and consisted of plants in Lyndonville, Watertown, Ma. and several other towns I can't recall at the moment.

(It should be noted that T.N Vail was President of ATT.)
