Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
On October 1 1 , 1962, Mahlon J. Macgregor, former member of this Board and
former Mayor of the City of Berkley, passed away at the age of 63. He was born January
14, 1899 in Alpena and graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1923,
Mr. Macgregor, an attorney, was a leader in the movement to establish the
City Manager 'form of government in Berkley. He was Mayor from 1945 to 1949 which
was the period when the City of Berkley saw its most rapid growth and was called the
"fastest growing city in the nation."
He was a member and past President of the Detroit Curling Club, a member of the
Berkley Rotary Club, Berkley Lodge 536 F and AM and the Detroit Exchange Club.
He is survived by his wife, Clarissa Macgregor, a brother Arthur H.of Pontiac
and a sister, Miss Margaret A. Macgregor of Cleveland.
"Mac", as he was so affectionately called by his many friends, was proud of his
Scotch ancestry and proud of his City and a devoted and public spirited leader in many
worthwhile community projects. His passing is a personal loss to his immediate family and
his many friends and a loss to his City and the community.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Special Committee, I move that the foregoing
memorial be spread upon the minutes of this meeting of the Board of Supervisors and that
the County Clerk be instructed to forward a certified copy thereof to his surviving wife
with the Seal of the County of Oakland affixed thereto.
