(fl. 1890s), cheesemaker at Williamstown and founder-publisher of The Canadian Cheese and Butter Maker. The first 12-page issue of this monthly periodical was published at Williamstown and Kingston and dated July 1898. Beginning with issue 2 publication was solely at Kingston and the “Editor and Publisher” was J. O. Lingenfelter. The periodical survived until at least Vol. I, issue 6, of Dec. 1898. The periodical reports that Brown made 25 1000-pound cheeses “last season, in the ‘Glen’ factory at Williamstown, Ont.” and that he made “the big Canadian cheese at the Islington, London, England, Fair” (issues July, Aug. 1898). In the second decade of the 20th century, there was a firm called the George Brown Creamery, apparently at Williamstown. (Rutley) No further information has been found.
