Historical Happenings

Compiled by Helen Reiland and Mike Holtorf

The Mazeppa Journal – Barbara J. Tommeraas, Publisher 

January 18, 1946

Creamery Does Rushing Business: The Mazeppa creamery is now churning butter for the National Butter Co. of Minneapolis and Dubuque. National Butter purchases cream from three neighboring creameries and has the Mazeppa creamery churn it. The local institution began receiving cream Dec. 16 and will churn about 65,000 lbs of butter from cream thus brought in, in the first month.
Besides this, the local creamery is doing the biggest business with its own patron in its history, selling some 40 per cent cream to the Borden Milk Co., which is shipped east and south for bottling and ice cream. The balance of our cream is made into butter.
The creamery sells skim milk and buttermilk to the Kraft Cheese Co. It is hauled to Zumbrota and processed for Kraft by what was formerly Hammer’s Creamery, which now has been turned into a milk drying plant and also makes ice cream. There are now five working full time and one part time in the creamery to take care of the rush.
George Flanigan, 83 years old, died Monday night after a short illness at the home of his nephew, Earl Boyce, at Zumbro Falls. Survivors include his sister, Mrs. Gertrude Caswell of Mazeppa and internment is in the Mazeppa Cemetery.

February 1, 1946
Cyril Novotny Reported Dead: Mrs. Antoinette (Palzer) Novotny of Minneapolis has received the following letter from the Secretary of the Navy, conceding that her husband, Cyril, long reported missing, is now conceded to have lost his life. He was serving on board the USS CAPELIN when that submarine failed to return from patrol operations in the Pacific area. The letter stated: In view of the length of time that has now elapsed since your husband was determined to be missing and because there have been no official nor unconfirmed reports that any of the personnel of the vessel survived or were taken prisoners of war, I am reluctantly forced to the conclusion that your husband is deceased.
I extend my deepest sympathy to you in your sorrow. It is hoped that you may find comfort in knowledge that your husband gave his life for his country, upholding the highest traditions of the Navy.                 Sincerely yours, James Forestal

County Agent Cautions on Feeding Calves: Poor haying weather last summer may result in sickly calves this winter unless calves are fed Vitamin A and D fish liver oil or concentrate beginning the day of birth until calf is six months olds, says County Agent Herbert Feldman. Vitamin A should never be fed directly to the calf.
