Around Town with First National
Charles Creamer
Yellow gold and white gold—
that’s the story of Charles
Creamer, Fairbanks pioneer and
co-owner with his son of Cream
er's Dairy.
Creamer, who was born in
1889 in Weaverville, California,
came to Alaska when he was
only eight years old. He and his
four sisters joined their parents
who had left a while before to
do some hardrock mining in
Juneau.
Things were booming in the
Skagway area, so the family
moved there in 1897 to the now
extinct town of Dyea. Two years
later the White Pass railroad
was completed and the Chilkoot
Pass was “put out of business

so the Creamers moved to lacoma, wcimhim? u,
Again after another two years elapsed, the Call o L
north beckoned the elder Creamer back to Dawson.
In 1903 gold was struck in Fairbanks and Chailesh.tr
followed the other miners here. He was lonesome for his fam
ily, though, and sent for them a year later. . ,,
When Charles was a young man he herded cattle foi the
meat markets in Fairbanks, (in those days there was no cold
storage and cattle had to be brought in alive) and until 19-0
“worked around at different jobs”. . ,
The couple moved to Vancouver and went into the chicken
business, but in 1928 the depression came and they returned to
Fairbanks. That same year they bought the dairy from C l.
Hinckly, Weaver’s brother-in-law, and started to work on .ne
20 cleared acres of land. .
The buildings were all log then, the 12 cows furnished 30
gallons of milk a day. Now the Creamers have about 160 head
of cattle which produce 300 gallons of “white gold daily. The
farm now covers 590 acres of land.
In 1936 they remodeled the farm and modernized the log
buildings and their young son. Donald, helped with the work.
After Donald served a term in the Army he went into a partner
ship with his father in the farm in 1946.
Aside from his great interest in the dairy farming business,
Detroit automobile. He belongs to the Pioneers Igloo No. 4
Creamer is known for the fun he still has with his 1908 Chalmeis
and the Elks Lodge and his wife is a member of the Pioneer
Women of Alaska.
