Biographical history

On 17 January 1898 a meeting was held in the Dundas Court House, in Prince Edward Island, for the purpose of taking action to build and operate a cheese or butter factory. The outcome of this meeting was the creation of the Dundas Dairying Association whose first meeting was held on 26 January. It operated under the legal requirements of "An Act to provide for the incorporation of Cheese and Butter Manufacturing Associations", (Statutes 1895, cap. 1). A cheese factory was built on land previously belonging to Samuel Hodgson MacDonald and Hammond H. Gillis, cheese-maker, began making cheese on 1 June 1898. A butter plant was added in the fall of 1899 and the Association made butter as well as cheese until 1925. The Dundas Dairying Company ceased operation in 1958.
