Diamond Creamery and Monticello Farmers’ Creamery History

The Diamond Creamery, begun in 1873 by Mr. Sherman with eastern capital, burned in 1910 after supplying butter to world markets and winning medals. It spurred a temporary creamery at Monticetto Canning Companys and led to the Monticello Farmers’ Creamery with a $4500 capital, long-tenured manager Fred Lehman, and a board including Cramer and Stutt. It drew cream from six counties and expanded to merchandise and coal weighing facilities.
