Henry Leber, who helped pioneer basic research work in developing techniques and control methods for the dairy processing industry, died in Florida June 29 after a short illness.
Born in Germany, Mr. Leber came to this country in 1926. His first position was with the Dairymen's League plant at Newark, New Jersey. He became affiliated with the League on June 1, 1929 and retired from that organization on November 1, 1965. He had since resided in Florida.
During his long service with the League, Mr. Leber became involved in numerous laboratory projects related to dairy products research and development. His specialty in later years was fermented products and his scientific achievements in developing superior flavor and texture in Cheddar and Cottage cheeses eventually became recognized throughout the industry.
Mr. Leber transferred from the general laboratory in Newark to the League's manufacturing plant in Kennedy, New York, in 1931, later transferring to the League's Poughkeepsie, New York, plant laboratory.
