The death of Arthur Greg, on May nth, 1899, of pneu- 

 monia and pleurisy, removed from our midst another member of 

 a family closely associated with what is best in the life of our 

 community, and one also who was related to many who have 

 taken an active interest in our Society in the past. 



His father, Robert Hyde Greg, M.P. for this City from 1839 

 till 1 84 1, who during the Corn Law agitation rendered great assis- 

 tance to the League, was one of the founders of the Manchester 

 Mechanics' Institution, a member of the Geological Society, and 

 also of our Society, to which he contributed several papers on 

 literary subjects, amongst others an important one " On the Site 

 of Troy and the Trojan Plain " published in the Memoirs for 

 1824, and another "On the Round Towers of Ireland," pub- 

 lished in the same volume. 



The subject of our notice had been for over forty years 

 resident at Eagley, Bolton, and was head of the firm of Messrs. J. 

 Chadwick and Brother, thread manufacturers. He served on the 

 old Astley Bridge Local Board, and on the District Council 

 which succeeded it, and, when the district was included in the 

 extended borough of Bolton, was api)ointed alderman of the 

 ward. He was one of the first volunteers in the district, and 

 only recently retired with the honorary rank of cai)tain. 



Like other members of the family, Arthur Greg was most 



anxious to be useful to those around him in his generation. He 



was elected a member of this Society on November ist, 1881, 



and was in his 64th year at the time of his death.
