Maybe it was the Dairy Queen truck? LOL Seriously, though I don't remember any dairy being in So Pitt or ever heard stories of one. But having said that, I bet there was a dairy in about every medium size town in the early 1900's. Milk would have been hard to transport cold from say Chattanooga. Another possibility is that we're thinking in terms of a milk processing plant but many dairy farms were considered "dairies". There were lots of those around. I can think of two on Battle Creek alone. I don't think there would have been much processing done until the 1930's or 40's and what we would call a dairy today. -----Original Message----- From: Mike & Donna OBrien <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, February 18, 2006 2:04 PM Subject: [TNMARION] Dairy >Ok, got another question for you.... > > I've got another old picture of my uncle standing in front of a Dairy truck (he used to drive one). My mother told me years ago that he worked for a Dairy in So. Pittsburg. Anyone have any ideas what the name of the dairy might have been? You can only see the words "Dairy" on the side of the truck and it's a B&W so I can't even tell you what color the truck was. > > My brother said he thought it was Mayfield or Purity Dairy, but I thought they were out of Athens and Purity was out of Chattanooga. > > Thanks again... > > Donna > > >==== TNMARION Mailing List ==== >*********************************************************************** > PLEASE NOTE: This list is for queries and replies, comments, > requests for help, and other genealogical related information > that is of interest to researchers having a connection or a > possible connection to Marion County, Tennessee.
