History of Ilyria Township Creamery Chronology
Wadena's first creamery started by A. W. Hathaway in the 1880s. William Davis and Rankin later organized a stock creamery, then closed. J. J. Hollister acquired the plant in 1899, sold to F. J. Schroeder in 1900, and it remained a whole milk creamery. Schroeder expanded with hand separators and won two state prizes, keeping the plant busy, modern, and profitable while paying farmers top milk prices. Nearby notes describe residents and travel, with meetings at Union church and various visits, but the creamery remains the central enterprise.
