In Memory of George A. Smith

Since we last met there has passed from among us one of the pioneers in American scientific dairying and the American Dairy Science Association expresses its appreciation of his life and work.

The Honorable George Alonzo Smith was born near Burlington, Otsego County, New York, on September 29, 1842. He intended to enter the ministry and received a thoro training in classical and religious literature.

While living on a farm to improve his health he became interested in the farm manufacture of cheese and because of his success with it, was soon making the milk of the neighborhood into cheese. In this way was developed one of the first cheese factories in the State of New York.

Upon the organization of a dairy division in the state government, his success in the operation of a group of cheese factories led to his appointment as the first State Instructor in Cheese Making, probably the first appointment of its kind in the United States.
