Among the first who took stock in
The mammoth cheese, 32 were Bros. Noxon;
They made the great hoop and the screw,
And the strong truck which the mighty drew.
In dairy progress we do trace the
Mammoth curd to Robert Facey;
His perseverence all do honor,
The Harrietsville Factory owner.
Reflecting back our thoughts do run
To him Centennial prize did won;
Highest honor it was gained by Dunn,
The owner of the Factory’s 33 son.
* Though we have described the above cheese as miglity, yet it did not contain a single mite.
The late Daniel Pheisan took a deep interest in the great cheese, and in promoting cheese factories, he became wealthy and died in Woodstock. Mr. Robert Facy was the cheesemaker at Mr. Harris, Factory the time when the big cheese was made.
* The above factory is now the North Oxford Company’s.
* The Western Cheese District has the following centres: Ingersoll London, Stratford, Listowol and Woodstock.
Brockville and Belleville are in Eastern District.
