"A Dairy Authority Gone"
Lauren Briggs Arnold, eighth child of George and Elizabeth Grimes Arnold, was born in Fairfield, Herkimer county, N.Y., Aug. 14, 1814, and died at his home near Rochester, N.Y., on the morning of March 7, 1888. His father emigrated from Rhode Island and settled on a fifty-acre farm in this town in 1798. Lauren attended the common school till 19, when, having made good use of these slender advantages, he became a successful teacher, Winters, until he reached his majority, when he devoted his time in Summer to mechanical work. At 24 he entered the Fairfiled Academy, where within a few weeks he was chosen by an association of teachers to give them extra and special instructions to prepare them for their Winter teaching. In 1841, at 27, he entered the third term of the junior class at Union College and honorably graduated in the class of 1843.
He had intended to follow teaching and was offered a professorship in Fairfield Academy, but his father prevailed upon him to take charge of the farm, which he carried on until 1861, having in 1852 married Melissa Bishop of Tompkins county. … He had the misfortune to lose his wife in 1866 and afterward married Mrs. Elizabeth Woodward of Monroe county, N.Y., who died about 1881. The professor leaves two sons to survive him.
…He spent the best years of his life in the discovery and introduction of improved methods in the conduct of American dairying. His researches related to all branches of dairying… He was now conducting a dairy farm left him by his father, in the famous dairy county of Herkimer, N.Y.
…He established a small cheese factory on his farm where he used his own and purchased milk in making cheese and experimenting to test practically his discoveries. All the facts he had observed and carefully noted were treasured for use in his book on American Dairying – the most original work on that subject ever published. The chapter on milk contains practical instructions of the greatest value to every dairyman, which if put into general practice would quite revolutionize the quality of dairy products.
…He was the delegate from this country, by invitation of the British Dairymen's Association, at its conference in England of delegates from nearly all the countries of Europe in 1885, in which body he was treated with great consideration as a distinguished teacher in this specialty.
He was chosen and acted as expert judge in the section of the dairy at our Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia.
