There was a local book written by the Dickenson family that said that milk plant was built by a Randolph.Right off hand,I can't remember if it was Jake or his father. I don't recall off hand if Libby was his wife or mother. I do remember Jake from when I was a kid. He was an old man way back then.Two of his sons lived here,one is still alive. Their sons were more my age. There was some way that Jake or his mother or wife was related to the Dickensons. That's how the story ended up in the book. I wish I had a copy of the book,but I borrowed it from one of the decendants quite a few years ago and read it. The company itself wasn't sold to Carnation,but the condensary where the little cans of condensed milk were made was sold to Carnation. I don't remember it ever being Libbys,but my dad,uncles,everybody from that generation always refered to the plant as Libbys. That's all I know about it. If Libby wasn't a Randolph,then the book was wrong.
