tendents of Detroit and vicinity attended 
the funeral in a body. 
James John Howard Gregorj^, the 
w'ell-known seedsman of Marblehead, 
Mass., died February 20, in his eighty- 
third year. Mr. Gregory was born in 
Marblehead, November 27, 1827. He 
was educated in the public schools, 
Middlebury Academy, and Amherst 
College. Mr. Gregory at the outset 
transacted this business at his home, 
but later used a small building which 
his father had used as an office. This 
small building is still to be seen be- 
side the present large seedhouse. In 
1863 he built a store, and from time 
to time enlarged it, until the business 
reached the proportions of today. At 
one time his extensive seed farms, 
comprising over 400 acres, were lo- 
cated in Middleton, and he made a 
specialty of growing particular varie- 
ties of vegetables, and introducing 
new varieties. Mr. Gregory was a 
prolific writer on many subjects, in- 
cluding, besides matters horicultural, 
historic lore, art and geology; he was 
also noted as a lecturer. His partic- 
ular hobbies, perhaps, were the col- 
lection of Indian relics, and shells, of 
which he possessed thousands. He 
served his town as a selectman, a 
library trustee, a school committee- 
man, and state senator. 
Mr. Fred A. Pinoteau, superintend- 
ent of parks, Montreal, Canada, died 
quite suddenly on February 23, after 
an illness of less than a day, syncope 
being assigned as the cause. He was 
but 39 years of age. Mr. Pinoteau
