Ewald Dairy Family of No Mpls-and Plymouth Masonic Lodge #160
, Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA
Ewald Family Story Rembered and cherished at--St Johns Day Event 24 Jun 2013 Minneapolis, MN
At the St. John's Day celebrated by Masons at Crystal Lake Cemetery 24 Jun 2013: Special attention was given to the life and legacy of Dewey Ewald, the founder of Ewald Dairy. Many Minneapolis residents remember when milk was delivered to their homes by first horse drawn carts and later Ewald Dairy trucks.
Brother John Schwietz of Minnesota Masonic Charities explained that just days before the St. Johns Day events plan was being finalized, that the Masons received a check for $360,000 from the trust of the Ewald Family. This money, he explained, would be now utilized for scholarships, support of the Masonic Hospital at the University of Minnesota and other philanthropic causes.
In memory of The Ewald family loyalty and faithfulness to the Masons, Minnesota Grand Lodge line officer, Bro Ed Halpaus, placed a white Mason's apron on the grave of Bro Dewey Ewald and explained that this act was an expression of the humbleness and servant-hood of Masons and how aprons are worn by Masons all over the world. Bro Ed also placed a sprig of Acatia upon the Ewald Family headstone explaining that Acacia sprigs serves as a symbol of eternal life and eternal hope; And as a reminder of ones own immortality of being.
Brother Ed Halpaus, next spoke of the unity represented by the large Masonic obelisk at Crystal Lake cemetery – saying how the masonic symbols of the Square & Compass along with the symbolisms of the Scottiish and York Rites along with the Order of the Eastern Star (OES) depicted on the base of the obalisk reveal how different organizations and people came together for a common cause; That of getting the obalisk erected.
The object of the Masonic Lodge membership for 'Meeting on the Level and Parting on the Square' is to create a place where divisions and issues of religion, politics or economic rankings, may be left left outside of a Tyled Masonic Lodge ; So Brother Masons can engage in activities that unite them all in Peace Tolerance and Goodwill.

Ewald Dairy Co. Family and Plymouth Masonic Lodge #160
Brother Chris Ewald emigrated from Denmark in the early 1900's and rented land in South Minneapolis around Rice Lake (now Hiawatha Lake). He purchased the McNair Farm in Golden Valley when the Minneapolis Park Board acquired the farm he was renting. The Golden Valley property was 607 acres, from 19th Avenue North to what is now North Memorial Hospital. On March 11, 1911 Chris and his son herded his cows through Minneapolis some 12 miles to Golden Valley. They built a barn for 50 – 60 cows and a horse barn and operated a dairy farm. The farmhouse was a half block from Xerxes Avenue
A January program featured the ever-popular Doug Ohman of Pioneer Photography who showed photos taken on the Mississippi River and bluffs from Hastings to LaCross. Thirty-eight members and friends of the Society braved an icy North and a half block north of 19th Avenue North. The horses pulled the wagons that delivered milk to customers in Minneapolis, as far North as Anoka, West to Wayzata and South to Bloomington.
Bro Ewald purchased five acres in Minneapolis after WWI and built a dairy pasteurizing plant on Xerxes and 19th Avenue North (now Golden Valley Road). Across the street in Golden Valley he had a horse barn that later was the parking lot for the milk delivery trucks. In 1923 Ewald Family left the McNair farm. Most of it was divided into lots and the area North of 19th Avenue was known as McNair Manor. The milk pasteurizing plant on Xerxes and 19th Avenue was torn down and the land eventually divided into lots for Habitat For Humanity homes.
William Douglas Ewald, the great-grandson of Chris Ewald, founder of the Ewald Brothers Dairy, presented the history of the Ewald Dairy and family at Golden Valley Historical Society meetings in 2008 & 2011 meeting was Bill Ewald, great grandson of Ewald Dairy founder Chris Ewald.
