Dorothy Deremo : the Deremo dairy and tree farms
Dorothy was born in 1904 in Grand Haven, Michigan, and lived in the family home that her father built in 1902. Her father was a clam fisherman on the Grand River and sold the clam shells to the button factory in Lamont. He also worked in local factories, grew fruit, and had a dairy business. Dorothy talks in detail about how blueberry and evergreen farming started in the area. Beginning in the 1950s, the family owned and operated a Christmas tree business which shipped trees throughout the United States.
