Excerpt from Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, for the Year 1880: Part 1
Among the deaths have been those of Dr. Jacob Bigelow, the oldest member of the Society, its first Corresponding Secretary, and the projector of Mount Auburn Cemetery; of James Cruickshanks, whom most of us here to-day must remember with such kindly feelings; of John M. Merrick; of Cheever Newhall, one of the founders of the Society, and its first Treasurer; of his kinsman Josiah Newhall, one of the original members of the Society, and active and interested in all its affairs until a short time before his death, and of William R. Austin, for many years Treasurer.
The discussions have taken a wide range, and have been interest ing and instructive as usual.
