Shown here are both sides of a brass token (enlarged image) issued by the Smith Dairy of Beavertown. It was good for 5 cents on the return of an empty milk bottle.

Unfortunately, we do not have the date of this token, nor the dates of operation of Smith’s Dairy. Can anyone help us with this information?

(What happened to the Smith’s Dairy? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Henry Kern donated the land for the then Union Church, now the UCC.

He also donated land for the churchyard, the school, and the playground, with the stipulation that when it was no longer used for the purposes intended, the land will revert back to the family.

Henry was my GGGGrandfather. Just before my Grandmother’s death, she signed off to give a clear deed, but only to the church.
