It is a place where many memories will come to mind for the baby boomer generation.Īnother person who made milk deliveries around the Gothenburg area was Ed Kuhlman. He followed the long ago postal motto that nothing would stop the milk delivery, “Neither rain, snow or dark of night….”Īs kids, Schriver’s Market, was the place to go before and after school to get a snack or to meet up with friends. He never missed a scheduled delivery day in the 43 years of business even when a blizzard would shut down the postal service. Many times the older ladies would need a hand now and then to change a light bulb for them or something like that or just spend 10 to 15 minutes just talking to them. Sometimes he even did more than deliver milk.
Occasionally the delivery would include a loaf of bread or a pound of coffee. When the small grocery store was open he would often delivery more than milk. He’d take milk into the houses and have to find a place in the refrigerator for it. Schriver delivered both wholesale and retail to homes in Gothenburg and Cozad for several years. Gene bought the business, which included a small grocery store, from his dad, Kenneth, in 1960. The Schriver’s would eventually buy milk from other farmers for resale and in 1948 he hooked up with Roberts Dairy and started selling their milk in cartons along with his bottled milk. Gene’s sisters, Betty Ann, Arita and Janet each had a little red wagon they used to deliver milk each night after school. All the family helped out with the business. Milk sold for 6 or 7 cents a quart and 25 cents a gallon. They had a few cows so he decided to sell the milk and cream for extra income. The business initially began in the late 1930’s when Kenneth Schriver, Gene’s dad, and his wife, Betty, decided to move to town. Guess I gave out first.” After spending eight days in the hospital with blood clots in his lungs “I decided it was time." I figured I’d quit when one of us gave out.
Schriver said “I kept fixing and keeping that old truck going. He said he was planning on working a couple more years.
