Carriers to Celebrate Sixtieth Anniversary
Hilda and Lewis Carrier of Guttenberg will mark a milestone event this month when they celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary. They were married Nov. 24, 1920 and will observe their anniversary this year on Thanksgiving Day with a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Mary's Church and a family dinner in Brinkman Hall immediately following.
The first time Hilda ever heard of Lewis Carrier was when her father, Joseph Felder, said he had purchased some horseradish from a Carrier boy. They met later at a dance held at Turner Hall in Guttenberg. Mutual car trouble resulted in Lewis taking Hilda home.
Following their courtship they were married in Dubuque at St. Raphael's Cathederal by the Rev. T. Brady. They have lived in Guttenberg all of their married life. After a few years of doing odd jobs, which included working at the button factory and on the lock and dam when it was being constructed, Lewis went into the dairy business.
Hilda's brother, Al Felder, had set up a small shop near his home where he sold homemade pie and soda pop. When Lewis and hilda moved into this house in about 1929, they decided to continue the shop and they also added homemade ice cream to the menu. The workers from the lock and dam project were steady customers-often waiting while the Carriers finished freezing a batch. They used hand-turned freezers in those first years, and it made for plenty of hard work. The cream, milk and eggs were purchased directly from farmers. They cut and packed their own ice from the Mississippi every winter.
A few years later they purchased bottles, dairy equipment and a milk delivery route from Marvin Nuehring. They bought the milk from Mr. Nuehring and bottled it in their newly constructed dairy building across the street. Later they acquired the engineer's office from the lock and dam site and converted it into their home just east of the dairy. They still occupy this home.
The dairy and ice cream shop was moved to its present location in 1959. They still sell their homemade ice cream as they have for the past 50 years. Of course the hand-turned freezers have been replaced by an electric machine and electric freezers. And the milk is now commercially packaged with the dairy now being a wholesale and retail merchant for the Mississippi Valley Milk Producers Association.
A man from Minneapolis once stopped for a taste of Carriers homemade ice cream, and commented that it was "as good as mother used to make." He suggested they use this slogan in their advertising and they have-for all those 50 years.
The Carriers are the parents of six children: Mrs. Laura Sodawasser of Dubuque, Sister Mary Ann Carrier of Bellevue, Mrs. Henry R. (Winifred) Fassbinder of Guttenberg, Jerome of Guttenberg, Mrs. Ray (Patricia) Kleinow of Monticello, and Daniel of Gutteberg. They have 20 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
