for reelection in 1900. In 1901, Pingree arrived in London, England, while returning from an African safari with his son. He was stricken with peritonitis and was unable to return to the U.S. King Edward VII, Pingree's famous look alike, even sent his own physicians to London's Grand Hotel to assist in Pingree's recovery. Pingree was interred at the Elmwood Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan, and later reinterred at the Woodlawn Cemetery in Detroit. There is a statue of Pingree standing in the Grand Circus Park in Detroit, commemorating him as "The Idol of the People". The sculpture was made by Austrian sculptor Rudolph Schwarz. There is also a bronze bust of him on the thirteenth floor of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Building in Detroit. See also Grand Circus Park References Further reading Holli, Melvin G.
