| 5701 | Note that I am not sure this marriage belongs to this particular Audley. | Howland, Margaret (I27856)
|
| 5702 | Note: This couple may be misplaced on the tree -- this is in process of research. Stephen may be a son of John b.1757 in Scituate, RI; some genealogies have him as a son of John b.1770. However, if this is the case, Stephen couldn't have been born in 1780. His wife was probably Rebeckah Watson; they had a son Zeri Watson Remington (see Boyd Scott Remington's chart -- needs more research to confirm). | Watson, Rebeckah (I10095)
|
| 5703 | Note: According to an abstract of her father's will (Beaman's), in it he mentions a daughter Sally Carr Armstrong; a separate item mentions a granddaughter as Sarah Carr Armstrong. Are these two separate people, or was there a mistake in the writing of the will, or in the recording of it by the clerk, or by the one who wrote the abstract? Very possibly. Or, were there two Sarah/Sallys who married Armstrong men? Also possible. BSR's ancestry chart lists a daughter Sarah for Benjamin & Hannah (no source noted). | Remington, Sally Carr (I04622)
|
| 5704 | Note: I am not absulutely sure that Jonathan Hill of RI is a son of John & Frances Hill. However, I have linked him to this couple based on genealogical information sent to me by Hill descendants. Jonathan & Mary Hill lived at Warwick, Portsmouth, and Prudence Island. Jonathan & Mary may have had another son named Thomas in the early 1650s, as the book "The History of East Greenwich" tells of a Thomas Hill who was in Potowomut by 1680, in business partnership with James Greene. Jonathan may have been born earlier than 1640, possibly closer to 1630. It is believed that Jonathan married twice, to two women named Mary: Mary Sharwood (Sherwood) and Mary Bassett. From another genealogy: This or another Jonathan Hill may have died 2 Feb 1710, and his wife died 12 Sep 1715. (This needs more research.) | HILL, Jonathan Sr. (I05924)
|
| 5705 | NOTE: I have made an assumption that this marriage record belongs to this particular Job Almy: ALMY Job, of Job, deceased, of Portsmouth, and Bridget Sanford, of Col. Peleg, dec., of Newport; m. by Gov. Samuel Cranston, Dec. 6, 1705. (Vol. 3 p. 3, Tiverton Marriages) | Family F07075
|
| 5706 | Note: the ancestral line of Zeri has not yet been proven -- see accompanying notes for his parents, Stephen & Rebeckah, and grandfather, John. In the 1850 Federal Census, Zeri & Eliza are living at Pittsburgh, PA, and with them are their three oldest children. Also in the household is Martha Remington, age 65, b. Vermont. This is probably Zeri's stepmother, who is also his aunt. In the 1860 Federal Census the family is living at Boomer, Pottawattamie Co., IA. Martha is still with them, age 75. From the Rootsweb message board, surname Remington: Not sure where Zeri was buried but his first two wives are in Allegheny Cemetery in the same lot with Zeri's father, Stephen (from R. Schroder). | Remington, Zeri Watson (I12665)

| 5707 | Notes (edited) from JD Watson at Rootsweb's Worldconnect: b. 1646 in Salisbury, Lancashire, England d. 6 JAN 1730/31 in Warwick Rhode Island Immigration: 1661 Warwick, Rhode Island Settled age 15 or 16 to Rhode Island w Edmund Calverly, London innkeeper May 1663 cleared timber at Paquabuck bet. 1673 - 1674 purchased land near Potowomut & Cowesett Bay from the Indians 22 May 1674 Order of town, home lot of 6 acres granted at Warwick Cove adjacent to Edmund Calverly 4 May 1675 admitted freeman of Newport, RI 1687 served on Grand Jury 1710 Deputy from Warwick, Rhode Island The following notes are from Norma Roberts: Cherry Fletcher Bamberg has done extensive work on John Rice and his life. See her work for more info. The name John Rice ("John Riss") shows up in Warwick records for the first time on 13 Jan 1661, when he joined Edmund Calverly and Randall Holden in witnessing an indenture. John O. Austin, who published a biographical sketch of John Rice, says he came from old England with Mr. (Edmund) Calverly. No source has identified John's parents but he was very close to Edmund Calverly, and given the difference in their ages (Calverly was born in 1613), it can be assumed that John may have been an apprentice of Calverly's or some kind of relative back in England. Calverly made a deed of gift to John and Elizabeth Rice on 18 Nov 1676 "in consideration of the Love and affection which I have," but mentions no relationship. Calverly also made a second, also unexplained, deed of gift 23 Jan 1677/78 to John Rice alone. No proof of when his wife Elizabeth died or whether he remarried, or no birth records of his children's births can be found in Warwick records. He had two sons to whom he made deeds of gift, but it is possible he may have had one or more daughters (unknown at this time). Elizabeth may have died young and John never remarried and this could explain why only two children are found for John and Elizabeth. | Rice, John I (I06096)
|
| 5708 | Notes exceprted from "Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations" Vol. 12, p. 4 & 5: Francis Cooke and his son John (Jean, en francais) embarked on the Speedwell at Delfshaven, Holland, in July 1620. At Southampton or Plymouth, England, they transferred to the Mayflower and set sail Wednesday, 6 Sep 1620 (or, 16th Sep, new calendar). Francis was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact on 11 Nov 1620 (21st Nov, new calendar). In late 1623 Francis Cooke received two acres with his son John, and four acres for the rest of the family, who came on the ship Anne in Aug 1623. | COOKE, Francis (I05980)
|
| 5709 | Notes exerpted from "Descendants of Gov. John Cranston of Rhode Island," p. 296 (published in Genealogies of RI Families, Vol. I): "In 1759 Benjamin Cranston was second lieutenant on the sloop Roby, a privateer; his name is in the census of 1774; and he was one of those on the Colonial ship General Stark, which was lost on the coast of Maine in the Revolutionary War." | CRANSTON, Benjamin III (I16540)
|
| 5710 | Notes extracted from RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 73ff (in some places quoting Bates & Chatfield; other info from John O. Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of RI): The first record of Stephen Northup in RI was on 2 Oct 1655 when the town meeting of Providence granted to him 25 acres of land. Also, on 27 August 1656, it was ordered that Stephen Northup have a home-lot laid out to him, bordering Christopher Smith's lot; also, that he have "commonage" equal to any other townsman; and that he be able to vote with the other townsmen. [This suggests he was at least age 21 by this time.] John O. Austin states that Stephen Northup was made a freeman in 1658, but the above date seems more likely to be correct. It is believed that Stephen's house and lot were at the north end of town, from the description in the deed. It was probably destroyed in King Philip's War. On 27 July 1659, Stephen sold to William Carpenter 60 acres at Rocky Hill [possibly in the area of present-day Rt. 2 in East Greenwich/North Kingstown, near fairgrounds/flea market]. On 4 June 1660 he was elected Towne Sargeant at Providence. During his term of service, John Clawson, a Dutchman, was murdered by an Indian not far from Stephen's house. Stephen spent a day warning the inhabitants of the town about the prisoner, and four days in taking the prisoner to Newport and attending the trial there. For these services, Stephen received 3 shillings per day. On 8 February 1662, Stephen Northup sold to William Hawkins all rights between the Pawtucket and Pawtuxet Rivers. On 28 March 1666 he witnessed a deed in Providence, but his name is not on a list of inhabitants who took the oath of allegiance to the king on 31 May 1666. He had probably already moved to "Kings Towne" by this date. On 19 May 1671, Stephen Northup took the oath of allegiance at Kings Towne (per J. O. Austin). He bought land there sometime before 5 December 1679 (settlement of the Pettaquamscutt Purchase). His property consisted of about 120 acres near the present location of the Gilbert Stuart Homestead in Saunderstown. It has been suggested that Stephen's wife may have been a daughter of Benjamin Harrington (see RIGR, Vol. 3, No. 1, p. 75; various reasons). In August of 1672, Stephen Northup was summoned by the colony of CT to appear there in court concerning land in RI claimed by CT. Stephen refused to obey the summons, declaring his submission to the authorities in RI. His name appears for the last time in the official records, when on 6 September 1687 he was taxed by Gov. Andros. | Northup, Stephen (I13901)

| 5711 | Notes for HENRY RICE, from Norma Roberts: 17 children; descendants moved into New York, one group of them among the first settlers of Sardinia, New York. | Rice, Henry (I12707)
|
| 5712 | Notes from "History of Providence County, Rhode Island," Richard M. Bayles, Ed., Vol. I; NY: W. W. Preston & Co., 1891; Chapter IV - The Profession of Medicine, p. 120f: "Edgar W. Remington, M.D., son of Horatio A. and Martha A. Remington, was born in Warwick, August 27th, 1862. He entered Mowry & Goff's Classical School, and graduated in 1881. He entered Brown University the same year, and graduated in 1885, with the degree of A.B. In the fall of that year he entered Bellevue Hospital Medical College, and taking there a three years' course, graduated in the spring of 1888. He began practice in Providence in April, 1888, and there continues. He married Miss Dilla Ralph, of Phenix, April 17th, 1888, and they have one son, Edgar Demarest Remington." | Remington, Dr. Edgar Wilson (I11984)
|
| 5713 | Notes from "History of the Slocums in America," by Charles Elihu Slocum, p. 148: John and his family moved to the State of New York in 1794, lived for several years in Burlington, Otsego County, and later in Lebanon in the adjoining county of Madison. He was drafted for a soldier in the War of 1812. A carpenter, he traveled alone to Smithport, McKean Co., PA, in June 1824, to work in a shop. He died there 29 Dec 1824, after a few hours suffering great pains in his stomach. He was buried there. John & Rosana had about ten children. | Slocum, John (I06421)
|
| 5714 | Notes from "Illustrated History of Pawtucket, Central Falls and Vicinity" by Robert Grieve; pub. Henry R. Caufield, 1897; "Biographies of Prominent Citizens," p. 497f: "FAIRMAN, Roswell H., son of Ray and Mary (Anderson) Fairman, was born in Pawtucket, Aug. 9, 1856. He attended the common schools of Pawtucket and Rehoboth, and completed his education at the Pawtucket High School. He early exhibited musical talent, first mastering the flute, and had an early professional career as a flute player in different bands, orchestras and operatic companies in the United States. He then studied musical composition, became familiar with every instrument employed in the modern band and orchestra. He also became proficient as an orchestral director and as a teacher. His musical education has been broad and complete. He has been a director of vocal mucic, has had a large number of pupils, and has written many compositions, instrumental and vocal. He is continually publishing, and is no doubt destined to become a composer of note. He is devoted to his profession and seeks to promote the highest ideas of musical attainment. "Nov. 15, 1892, he assumed control of the Pawtucket City Band and has been its leader since. Under his management it has been developed and greatly improved. He organized the Choral Union of Pawtucket and conducted concerts here. He also organized the Pawtucket Symphony Orchestra for classical performances. Jan. 29, 1891, he was married to Theodosia Anna Remington, of Providence. Mr. Fairman has a musical library of all the great masters." | Fairman, Roswell H. (I06053)
|
| 5715 | Notes from "RI Genealogical Register," Vol. 13, Some Lines of Descent from Richard Smith of Bristol, RI, pp. 234 - 254: There were two early RI settlers named Richard Smith -- one who lived at Wickford, Kingstowne (his property now known as Smith's Castle), and the other at Bristol. This is the one who settled in Bristol. Richard Smith came from England to Boston, MA, in 1673. On 9 Nov 1680 he moved to Bristol, RI, where he lived for the remainder of his life. He was one of the original proprietors of Bristol, and was its first town clerk. He built his house at the corner of Hope and Constitution Streets. He took the oath of fidelity in Bristol on 20 June 1683. | Smith, Richard (I12481)
|
| 5716 | Notes from "The Armington Family in America": Dr. Hervey Armington was an eminently successful physician in Providence from about the year 1828 until his death. In his younger years he was a sailor, then traveled to Cincinnati, OH; Philadelphia, PA; & Pittsburgh, PA. In Ohio he studied medicine in a doctor's office and at Ohio Medical College, graduating in 1822. He returned to Providence around 1825. | Armington, Dr. Hervey (I07526)
|
| 5717 | Notes from "The Hull Family in America" by Charles H. Weygant, p. 260: "Robert Harper was a Quaker of prominence. In 1660 he stood under the scaffold and caught in his arms the body of his friend William Leddra, the martyr preacher, when cut down by the Boston hangman. For this act Harper and his wife were the same year banished." | Harper, Robert (I11152)
|
| 5718 | Notes from "The Luther Genealogy" p. 278: Hannah started her family at an extremely young age; lived with her husband in Tolland, CT, for a while; many hundreds of her descendants have their family information on file among the records of Luther family compiler John Francis Elsbree (1912-1994) of Brighton, MA; he was a researcher and genealogist of note, having worked many years on the Elsbree and collateral families. From the Swansea VRs p. 80: Daughter of Nathaniel Luther and Elliner his wife, Born July ye 18:1757 on a monday | LUTHER, Hannah (I18647)

| 5719 | Notes from a descendant, Deborah Montgomerie: "Caleb BOOTH & Elizabeth COLEMAN's great grandaughter Mary Adelaide BOOTH ended up in Philadephia. Sometime between 1891 and 1898 she married a James Bernard SIMPSON and they had my grandmother Gertrude Izard SIMPSON. Then sometime before 1905-1907 Aledaide (as she was known) died giving birth to a baby boy who also died.

| 5721 | Notes from a descendant, Kim Hoover: "John received his medical diploma in Cooperstown. Then John moved his family to Winnebago County, Illinois. His wife died soon after, and he married again. I'm descended from his second wife. Both of John's wives' first names were Almira, and both were from New York. John named one of his sons Loudon, and Loudon fought in the Civil War. John had four sons; none of them married or had children that we know of. Two drowned as young boys, the other two died in their 20s." In the 1850 Federal Census, John W. Lippitt 53 and his second wife Almira 41 are living at Shirland, Winnebago Co., IL. With them are their children Phebe A. 6, John 5, Charles L. 3, and Elbert S. 1. Also in the home are Sabin Warner 14 and Maria Warner 12. I have estimated John's birth year as 1796. | Lippitt, John Wesley (I12006)

| 5722 | Notes from a posting by John B. Lisle at RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com, 5 July 2000: "From a letter written in 1909 by Mrs. Estelle Dorman Stedman, a daughter of Daniel Dorman: 'Daniel Wells Dorman and his wife Mary Perry Remington, a niece of Commodore Oliver Perry of Lake Erie fame, came to Otis from Tolland some time in the early part of the last century, and made a home for his family at the place now known as Hogencamp's.'

| 5723 | Notes from Bruce Wightman at his website "Wightman Family History" [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wightman/Abraham1711.ht m]: "Allen Wightman, born May 30, 1742. He married Rhoda Lathrop February 9, 1764 in New Haven, CT. Rhoda Lathrop was the daughter of Cyprian Lathrop and Mary Stark. The Lathrops were one of the most prominent and wealthy families in Norwich. Rhoda was a descendant of William Brewster of Mayflower and Plymouth fame. Allen and Rhoda were married at the New Haven Second Church." The following notes are from the family tree of Gary Wightman at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. He references as a source "Ancestors and Descendants of Simon and Catherine Wightman" by Marguerite B. Wightman. "Allen Wightman was a resident of Norwich, RI [CT?] as late as 1785, being elected that year to serve on the school committee of the town. He moved not long after 1790 to the region of German Flatts in the Mohawk Valley, NY, and later to the Township of Skaneatles, Onondaga Co., NY, where he was a farmer. The family were all members of the "Baptist Church of Christ'' there. He died intestate, his sons Aurunah and Allen, Jr., both residents of Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY, being appointed administrators. The graves of both Allen and Rhoda are in Lakeview Cemetery in the Village of Skaneatles." | Wightman, Allen (I23422)

| 5729 | Notes from from "History of Providence County, RI," Richard M. Bayles, Ed., Vol. I; NY: W. W. Preston & Co., 1891; Ch. IV, p. 114f: "William C. Monroe, M.D., was born in Woonsocket in 1850. He was educated at Woonsocket High School, at the Friends' School of Providence, and at Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City, where he graduated in 1876. He began the practice of medicine in Woonsocket the same year. He was for a number of years connected with the school board, and is now a member of the hospital staff. He married Carrie M., daughter of William W. Remington, of Phenix, in 1876." | Munroe, Dr. William Coe (I06157)
|
| 5730 | Notes from John Wilcox on his family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect: "Abner and Comfort Wilcox apparently suffered from marital problems, as documented in the following announcement that appeared in the The Newport Mercury November 30, 1805: 'Whereas Comfort Wilcox, Wife of the subscriber, has eloped from his bed and board, and has otherwise behaved in a very improper and unbecoming manner - this is therefore to forbid all persons from trusting or harbouring her on my account, as I am determined to pay no debts of her contracting from this date. [signed] Abner X Wilcox (his mark), Tiverton, Nov. 25, 1805.' Abner Wilcox is presumably the person referred to in the newspaper announcement that appeared in the The Newport Mercury November 07, 1829. "Commissioners' Notice: We the Subscribers having been appointed by the Hon. Court of Probate for the town of Tiverton, Commissioners to receive the claims of the Creditors against the estate of ABNER WILCOX, late of Tiverton, dec. represented insolvent...[signed] Job Cory, John Gray, Peleg Stafford, Comm'rs...George Wilcox, Adminis'r, Tiverton, Oct 7, 1829." The same newspaper had a prior notice of submission to probate was dated Sept. 7, 1829, establishing the approximate date of his death. (both quotes from NEHGS, Early American Newspapers, Series I 1690-1876, ht tp://infoweb.newsbank.com) My note: I am wondering if he is the Abner Wilcox who fathered a child with Lydia Manchester: Jeremiah Manchester born 20 Dec 1810, Tiverton, d 10 Sep 1891 Tiverton. I have not yet found another Abner Wilcox, so for the time being I am assuming he is the same individual, so I am linking Lydia and her son Jeremiah to his name, with Lydia as a second wife (possibly common law wife or not; his wife Comfort had apparently left him). I am not sure which Lydia it was, as there were two (at least), one born in 1781 and the other born in 1791. | Wilcox, Abner (I26409)

| 5731 | Notes from Linda Mathew, Johnson family researcher: "Caleb Johnson of Coventry and Harty Potter of Plainfield, CT, were married 10 Nov 1839. The marriage was recorded in Coventry. She signed many times in Caleb | Johnson, Caleb (I04290)
|
| 5732 | Notes from Linda Mathew: Ezekiel Johnson "married his second wife Mercy (or Marcy) before 1814 when Mercy, wife of Ezekiel, joined the Maple Root Church. Secondary sources claim she was the daughter of Joseph and Anna Johnson of Coventry. Joseph was the son of John, son of Elkanah, so Ezekiel and Mercy would have been second cousins. Joseph did have a daughter Mercy (or Marcy) and mentioned her in his will of 1808, at which time she was unmarried. I don | Johnson, Mercy (I16563)

| 5733 | Notes from my dad, probably about this Norman: "The son Norman worked at Bostitch, and lived on Brown Street, Hope, RI. For several years we exchanged Christmas cards, but not for three or four recent years. His wife's name is Claire. They had four children - I think two sons and two daughters. I would like to know where he is, and how to get in touch with him." | Remington, Norman J. Jr. (I00419)
|
| 5734 | Notes from Pam Amari, Remington descendant: "Oliver M. Remington and Sally Humphrey's daughter Caroline Sarah Remington is the mother of Adeline Victoria Remington, which is often listed as a daughter to Oliver and Sally. They are all buried in the Remington Cemetery in Ohio. We think that Caroline had this daughter, Adeline, out of wedlock. Caroline lived on the Remington property, though the home is no longer standing. "Cavanee is a very confusing name to track down because they spelled it so many ways."

| 5737 | Notes from William Worth at [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~worths/king/pg15rremington.html] : The name of ELIPHALET is found as a son of David in the Bible in 2nd Samuel-5: 16 and 1st Chronicles, Chapter 14, verse 7. After the death of his first wife, Eliphalet was left a widower with a large family of very young children, and he married again 2 Oct 1788 Silence Rumril who died 16 Oct 1839 at age 71 years. Eliphalet King was a Revolutionary pensioner. He died in West Springfield, MA, after a long and painful illness in which he suffered greatly. Eliphalet King had 9 children by his first wife and 7 by his second wife. Much more about Eliphalet King, his family, and his honorable military service can be found at the above web site. | King, Lieutenant Eliphalet (I08045)
|
| 5738 | Notes sent to me by Norman Charles Hill place this Jonathan as a son of Rufus Remington. I also have wondered if Jonathan might be a son of Jonathan b 1801 or of John b 1794, both sons of Jonathan & Martha (Sprague) Remington, as was Rufus. Information from Mary Lou Rafery placed this Jonathan as a son of John Remington b 1801 and Unknown Wife. Jonathan's birthplace is NY in two of the censuses, but VT in two others. Jonathan's presumed father, Rufus, was living in NY in 1830, but back in VT by 1840, where there is a Jonathan Remington living next to him. However, Jonathan's age in that census does not agree with his age here. (This family needs more research.) He is probably the Jonathan Remington, age 20 VT, in the 1850 census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. He is a carpenter, and is listed twice in the census; all were born in VT. Nearby are Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT (could they be daughters of Truman?). All three are living in different households. How are they related? Was Jonathan born in NY but returned to his parents' former hometown to be a carpenter's apprentice? In the Federal Census of 1860, Jonathan & Sophia, ages 40 VT & 35 VT, are living at Wallingford, VT. He is a carpenter and joiner. Son Frank is 6 months. In the Federal Census of 1870, Jno & S. E. Remington, ages 41 NY & 42 VT, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Son Frank is 10 NY. According to census data, Jonathan and Frank were born in NY. In the 1880 Federal Census, Jonathan & Sophia Remington are ages 51 NY & 52 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Their son Frank, age 20, is with them. Two of the censuses give Jonathan's birthplace as NY, two as VT. | Remington, Jonathan (I19042)
|
| 5739 | Obadiah and his wife and possibly son Jonathan arrived in Boston in 1638. Obadiah Holmes was granted land in Salem in 1639. He, along with Thomas Gardner, was granted another small piece of land in Salem 20 March 1643. Mr. Obadiah Holmes is on the list of purchasers, settlers, and inhabitants of Rehoboth, MA, for the year 1643. He is also on a town meeting list for June 1644; also 1645 and 1646. In 1652, Obadiah succeeded Rev. John Clarke as pastor of the Newport Baptist Church. He was the second pastor of that congregation, which was the second Baptist Church in the New World. He led them for almost exactly thirty years--until his death in 1682. (see: http://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1601-1700/obadi ah-holmes-whipped-for-baptist-beliefs-11630124.html) Obadiah Holmes is mentioned as "my great-grandfather" in the 10 Jan 1799 will of John Holmes of Middletown, RI.

However, he was baptized in England 18 March 1610. The will of "Obadiah Holmes of Newport on Rhode Island" is dated 9 apr 1681. It mentions wife Catherine Holmes; dtrs Mary Brown, Martha Odlin, Lydia Bowne, and Hopestill Taylor; sons Jonathan (executor), John, Obadiah, & Samuel: also grandchild Martha Brown. | HOLMES, Rev.

| 5740 | Obit from findagrave.com: Chicago Tribune Illinois December 18, 2007 Douglas Kneeland: 1929 - 2007 Tribune's first public editor Veteran of New York Times was noted for writing style, relaxed personality Douglas Kneeland came to the Chicago Tribune in 1981 after 22 years at The New York Times, part of new Editor Jim Squires' effort to jolt the newspaper with fresh talent. Squires knew his high-profile recruits would be eyed warily, and he tapped Mr. Kneeland for his genial personality as much as his highly regarded writing and editing skills. "He never acted like he was from The New York Times. He acted like he was from the Maine Times, and that made all the difference in the world," Squires said. "I don't think I made a major decision, good or bad, that I didn't have Doug Kneeland's advice." Hired to oversee foreign and national news at the Tribune and later the paper's first public editor, Mr. Kneeland, 78, died of lung cancer on Saturday, Dec. 15, in a Lincoln, Maine., hospital, said his wife, Barbara. He returned to Lincoln, his boyhood home, following his retirement from the Tribune in 1993. Mr. Kneeland moved from national/foreign editor to associate managing editor before becoming a writer and editor for the Tribune's editorial pages in 1987. Reporters calling in from datelines near and far found him to be a compassionate editor with a strong Maine accent and a relaxed demeanor. "He was a guy who had been out [on the road] himself, and he knew the problems of being a correspondent," said retired Tribune editor Howard Tyner. "He was terrific at giving advice and helping you through various situations." Mr. Kneeland was "never ruffled as deadlines approached," and "always found time to mentor young reporters struggling with their stories," said Tribune reporter John Crewdson. In 1990, Mr. Kneeland was named the Tribune's public editor. He would be responsible for "seeing to it that legitimate complaints about the newspaper's behavior are heard and redressed, that errors of fact and taste are aggressively corrected," then-Tribune Editor Jack Fuller said in a story announcing the creation of Mr. Kneeland's job. Among the more public issues he took on was the long-running "Injun Summer" cartoon by John T. McCutcheon, which some readers found offensive. More often, he dealt with the day-to-day ethical issues faced by reporters and editors, some of whom were still throwbacks to the days when it wasn't unusual to impersonate a police officer to get a story. "Doug's great strength was his real concern for journalistic integrity. He really brought that value to a paper where it was, in some quarters, lacking," said former Tribune Managing Editor F. Richard Ciccone. "Doug really had a far more pious approach to journalism than previously was practiced here at the Tribune. He was very clear-headed when it came to sticky ethical problems." Mr. Kneeland wanted to be a reporter from a young age while growing up in Lincoln, a town 50 miles north of Bangor. "When he was in school, his teachers just thought he was a great writer," his wife said. Following his graduation from the University of Maine, he worked at newspapers in Bangor; Worcester, Mass.; and Lorain, Ohio, before landing a job at The Times in 1959. At The Times, Mr. Kneeland covered several presidential campaigns and was a national and foreign editor. He was a national correspondent based in Kansas City, Mo., and California, and was Midwest bureau chief in Chicago. Remembered by Squires as "a lovely and graceful writer," Mr. Kneeland wrote stories for The Times on topics ranging from roller coasters to drive-in theaters, the disappearance of mom-and-pop motels to the difficulties faced by returning Vietnam POWs. In "The Boys on the Bus," Timothy Crouse's book on reporters covering the 1972 presidential campaign, Mr. Kneeland makes an argument on behalf of journalistic integrity and the good intentions of most reporters. "You see, we're idealists," he told Crouse. In retirement, Mr. Kneeland taught journalism and served on the alumni committee at the University of Maine. He also wrote editorials and a human interest column for his hometown paper, the Lincoln News, and was active with the Maine Press Association. Mr. Kneeland's first wife, Anne, died in 1989. In addition to his second wife, he is also survived by two sons, Bruce and Wayne; two daughters, Debra Wentz and Libby Williams; a sister, Pamela Greene; and five grandchildren. Services are planned for the spring. | Kneeland, Douglas Eugene (I27898)
