Notes:

Hildreth was raised in Washington State and later settled in Illinois. He went to Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL, and later worked for the National Association of Railroads. My dad, Norman Remington, received Hildreth's address from someone in the late 1970s, after Hildreth and his wife had visited friends in Mexico and Guatemala. My dad wrote to him at that time but doesn't remember if he received a reply. I think Hildreth and his wife may have attended the Wheaton Bible Church because it was mentioned in a note that he knew of me when I was at Wheaton; however, we never met. At the time, I would not have known of our family connection, although it would have seemed likely even at the time.

Hildreth — Hannah Amelia Klein. Hannah (daughter of Paul Klein and Frieda Amelie Herzog) was born 10 Jul 1916, OH; died 11 Jul 2004. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Quote from Tim Remington, after visiting Michigan:
"There is a house that is still standing that was the home of John Broadhead Remington (our great grandfather). He built it using bricks he made in his brickyard. We have pictures of it and also a millstone that was used in 1840. We visited the historical museum in the afternoon and the folks there were great. They delighted in showing us the history they found of our relatives and put together a packet of information for us. They also showed us a brick that came from John Broadhead Remington's brickyard and it had the initials "JR" engraved in it. I understand that stamping initials into the bricks was typical of the bricks built in those days."
