Davis, Henry H., Litchfield, is the proprietor of the North Litchfield cheese 
factory, and uses the milk from about 400 cows. He started making cheese March 
28, 1892, and will close January 1.  The estimate of cheese for 1892 will be 
about 140,000 pounds, which has sold for 8 1/4 cents to 10 1/8 cents.  He is 
also a farmer, and was born in Edmeston, Otsego county November 5, 1834.  He 
bought this factory and farm in 1890, it having been built by Joseph Kast, 
about 1885.  Mr. Runyan purchased the land and built the first factory here 
about 1862.  Mr. Davis made cheese in Kentucky in 18870 and in 1871 made 
cheese for S. P. Goodier, then the owner of this property.  He married Eliza 
G. Lindsay, and they have one son, George H., who is now making cheese at 
Warwick, Orange county.  He married Lisette Otterbin, and they have one son, 
Harry.
