Former Editor's Ashes Interred at Vassar
The ashes of James A. Trotter, a former Vassar editor, were sent to Vassar from Los Angeles, Calf., and were interred in Riverside cemetery Sunday.
The Masonic lodge of which he was a member had charge of the services. Mr. Trotter edited the Vassar Pioneer Times 30 years, having sold his business interest there about 10 years ago when he went to California.
Mr. Trotter had been in failing health for two years and died three weeks ago. He is survived by his widow who lives in Los Angeles, one sister, Mrs. C. S. Cottrell of Vassar and a brother in Iowa.

James A. Trotter, Biography
(Buried in Riverside Cemetery, Vassar.)
(Vassar, Mich., arranged and compiled by Will O. Clyne and Fred Voiland. Saginaw, Mich: Valley Publishing Co., 1895, pages 11-12.)
JAMES A. TROTTER, editor of the Tuscola County Pioneer, was born in 1852, in Schoharie County, New York. In 1863 he removed to Vassar where his education was completed in the Union schools. In 1869, when he was about seventeen years of age, his father purchased the Pioneer and in conjunction with the two sons, J.A. and William, began its publication. In 1875 the two purchased the father's interest and two years later the interest of William was bought by the present owner.
Mr. Trotter was clerk of the city from 1876 to 1880, was for four years a member of the Common Council and served six years on the Board of Education. He has been connected with the Tuscola County Agricultural Society for many years and that organization owes a measure of its popularity and success to Jim's good head work. Mr. Trotter is conspicuous in Masonic circles and has served as Master of the Vassar Lodge for a number of years.
