History
Established in 1900.
It was a situation that repeated itself across the country in the late 1800s. A local doctor wanted to take advantage of the magic of the telephone to stay in touch with his patients. One of those doctors was Dr. Turner of Millbrook who in 1898 founded The Turner Telephone Company, the first to serve areas surrounding the village of Millbrook.
Through the 1920s and 30s, the Millbrook Rural Telephone Company continued to grow. In the years to follow, two new gentlemen became intrigued with this developing telephone company and immediately, a partnership was formed. Mr. Ed Downs and lawyer Harry Coon purchased the telephone company and renamed it Docon Telephones Ltd.
John and Paul Downs, the sons of Ed Downs, both had full time careers at the time of their beloved father’s death in 1978. John and Paul both wanted to ensure that the family owned business kept this traditional, family approach to its business practices, and knew this would not be the case should someone else take over
