MI Milkman - Kim J. Sumerix

Grandma MacArthur gave me the first milk bottle from the Alpena Dairy when I was just a young boy and that started a collection of history, milk bottles and dairy paraphernalia over the next 40+ years.  My interest is based in the 4 counties of NE Michigan which include Alpena, Presque Isle, Cheboygan and Montmorency.  I have tracked down the family members, spent countless hours in libraries, searched through the rubble of old buildings to find information connected to my personal family history and the dairy industry.  For generations, my family have been farmers and loggers, first settling in NE Michigan in the 1860's from Cheboygan, Wolverine, Alpena, Hillman and many points in between. 

If you have any information about the up North dairies that are displayed in these pages, please feel free to send me a note, photo or call to share this with me.  That would be greatly appreciated!
​
This webpage is a work in progress, look at the drop down pages above for the 4 counties bottle photos and current history.  My goal is that it will hold photos, names and some history of the known dairies from NE Michigan that delivered milk to the area consumers.  I am always interested in purchasing additional milk bottles and dairy artifacts to improve my display.  Such items as bottle caps, calendars, receipts, advertising, and other dairy related are always being considered for purchase.
