John — Marjorie Margaret Remington. Marjorie (daughter of Pardon Sheldon Remington, Jr. and Maude Helen Skoglund) was born Abt 1925. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The 1930 Federal Census has her name as Marjorie, but it may have been Margaret as in an online query.

Notes:

In the 1930 Federal Census, Pardon (age 30) and his family are living at St. Louis, MO. It says his father was born in GA, and his mother in RI.

His parents had been living in Boston, so perhaps that is where he was married to Maud. At least one of their children was born in Virginia, in 1922. The others were born in Missouri.

Pardon Sheldon Remington was a graduate of Boston Latin School, Class of 1916.

He was admitted as a Midshipman in the US Navy on 3 July 1918.

Pardon, born in Georgia, later came to Rhode Island, and at the age of 18 in the 1880 Federal Census was living in Providence with James & Abby Hopkins.

The births of his first three children (at least) are recorded at Providence, RI.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Pardon, age 38, and his wife, age 42, and five children are living on Pitman Street in Providence, RI. According to the census data, Pardon was born in Oct 1861. His wife's name on the census record is difficult to read, and appears to be Loren S. or Lora S. or Susan S. (District 6, p. 13 in Ancestry's images). However, his wife at that time must have been Ida, who is recorded as the mother of his older children, and who is also with him in the later censuses. The 1920 Census finds Pardon & Ida at Boston, MA. He is 58 and she is 62.

On 11 April 1890, Pardon S. Remington and his wife Ida F. Remington signed a deed of conyeyance "for the purpose of releasing relinquishing renouncing and conveying any and all interest & title as well all right of dower in and to the land in said deed." This pertained to land that was part of Edward Remington's estate, and in effect gave all ownership rights to William E. Davies, grandson of Edward. The deed was executed and signed in Providence, RI, and also filed with the Alachua County Court, Florida.

I think he was probably one of the owners of a printing firm in Providence. Note the following from "History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations", Biographical; NY: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1920, pp. 213 - 214: "John Edward Hurley, president of the Remington Printing Company (Remington Press), of No. 10 Abbott Park Place, Providence, R. I., one of the largest and most progressive printing firms in New England, was born September 26, 1860, at Providence . . . In the autumn of 1893 he associated himself with P. S. Remington and Frank M. Mason in the firm of P. S. Remington & Company, at No. 153 Dorrance Street, and in the spring of the following year purchased a one-third interest in the concern, which later moved to the Hanley building on Washington Street. The name of the firm was then changed to the Remington Printing Company (Remington Press) and was incorporated. Mr. Remington's interest was later acquired by Benjamin P. Moulton, and still later Mr. Mason's interest was purchased by Mr. Hurley and Mr. Moulton. In August, 1912, they moved to their present location in the Waite-Thresher building, No. 10 Abbott Park place, their plant covering a space of about 10,000 square feet."

Pardon married Ida F. Thurston 18 Jun 1884, Providence, RI. Ida (daughter of Stephen Y. Thurston and Mary L. Cook) was born Mar 1858, RI; died 27 Nov 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Ida's father was born in CT, her mother in RI.

Notes:

"I am told that my grandmother (Olga) was a Swedish maid in someone's home before she married my grandfather, Charles Skoglund (1875-1932), who arrived in the US in 1891 and became a US citizen in 1898. He was State Boiler Inspector, which was a very responsible, respected job, since everything was run by steam. The census listed them at 10 Newhall St., Quincy, but it didn't look reliable. . . My grandmother's maiden name was Olga Ryberg (1874-1946). She came from Gottenberg, Sweden, and arrived via Ellis Island, New York, on 1 November 1893 on the "Majestic" -- a white-star line ship, according to ship manifest records at Ellis Island."

Charles — Olga Ryberg. Olga was born 1874, Sweden; died 1946. [Group Sheet]
