CLASS OF 1878

Judge Frederick Wallace Gregg, LL.D. (Norwich University), died February 24, 1919, at Los Angeles, CaL, of tuberculosis of the throat.

Mr. Gregg was born in Northfield, Vt., December 25, 1856, being the son of Robert Mack and Eliza Jane (Buxton) Gregg, and fitted for college at Northfield High School. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa.

He taught a winter term at West Barnet, Vt., during his college course and subsequently taught for a year in Jaffrey, N. H. He then entered upon the study of law, and followed that profession, first in Tucson, Arizona, 1881-7, and later in San Bernardino, Cal., 1887-1907, until his retirement. He had served as United States Commissioner in Arizona, 1882-5, and as judge of the Pima County Court, 1885-7.

Judge Gregg was recognized as an authority upon the law relating to water rights, a branch of the law highly significant in the land of irrigation. After his retirement he made his home in Los Angeles, but was interested in landed property in the Imperial Valley, which he likened to the valley of the Nile, and over which he waxed enthusiastic in conversation and correspondence with classmates.

He was married July 31, 1901, to Miss Agnes Theresa Wilson of Los Angeles, who died April 30, 1906.

John Mark Moses was found dead in bed at his home in Northwood, N. H., February 21. He died of heart failure.

Mr. Moses was born in Epsom, N. H., August 2, 1855, the son of Mark Sherburne and Mary Abigail (Towle) Moses, and prepared for college at Coe's Academy, Northwood. He was a member of Theta Delta Chi and Phi Beta Kappa.

He was a man of recognized ability but of retiring disposition. After teaching for a few years in Coe's Academy he became a farmer in Northwood, where he was highly respected and was called upon to fill positions of trust. He wielded a keen pen, and occasionally expressed himself vigorously upon questions of the day. He was also much interested in genealogy and local history, and became something of an authority in such matters. He was a frequent contributor to the Granite Monthly and other publications of a historical nature. It is said that the records of the New Hampshire Historical Society, of which he was a member, have profited by his labors, and that he expressed a wish that such further studies as he left should be deposited with that society. He was a member also of the Piscataqua Pioneers. He never married.
