Bio

"...Carl Marty, Sr., (was) another leading figure in early cheese history... His parents were Jacob and Anna Kathrina Burkhalter Marty.

The father and an older brother, Jacob, Jr., came to this country in 1883 and made Swiss cheese in various areas before coming to Green County in 1885. Fred Marty (a brother) and several other members of the family arrived from Switzerland in 1886 and the following year, Carl and the remainder of the children came here.

...(Fred) Marty resigned from the state (dairy inspection) service in 1912 to join his brother Carl, who was operating a large cheese business in Chicago. For a time, Fred Marty managed the firm's branch in Argyle. ..."
