    Notes:

    He was active in the Central Congregational Church, being superintendant of the Sunday School, and also involved with the Pleasant Street Mission. He was particularly interested in the conversion of young men. Remington Hall, the auditorium annex to the YMCA building at Fall River, was a gift of Mrs. Remington, in his memory.

    On one occasion he spoke to the students at Colby College, ME, on the subject of temperance (not drinking alcoholic beverages). "Mr. Remington was practical and sincere in his advocacy of temperance, and he abandoned smoking because it impaired his influence. He viewed with great alarm the growth of imtemperance among young men, and was earnest in advocating total abstinence . . . Mr. Remington was outspoken in his condemnation of the indifference of the wealthy toward the demands of religion and intemperance . . . "

    "Mr. Remington was a man who had faith in and unfailing kindness for people. He believed in men. He counted them worthwhile, and therefore he felt it a thing worth doing to give time, money, counsel, and strength for their moral, physical, and mental welfare . . ."

    "At his death, one newspaper said that 'no citizen of Fall River stood higher in the estimation of the people than Mr. Remington.' "
    (above info and quotes from "Representative Men of Old Families of Southeastern MA," V. I, p. 173).

    The building which currently houses the Fall River Historical Society was the Remington family home for eight years. Notes from the web site of the Society: "The Historical Society is housed in a granite mansion, built in 1843 in the Greek Revival style for Andrew Robeson, Jr., a prominent businessman. A one-time station on the Underground Railroad, the house was to change hands several times over the next quarter century. In 1870, the building was purchased by Robert Knight Remington, a wealthy Fall River industrialist, who had the entire structure dismantled and moved three-quarters of a mile north to its present location on Rock Street. Enlarged and redesigned in the then-fashionable French Second Empire style, the structure was to serve as home to the Remington family for the next eight years. Due to the prominence of Mrs. Remington's social position and the family's elegant style of living, the residence quickly became the scene of a number of glittering social affairs. Of particular note was the October 10, 1877, wedding reception for the Remington's daughter, Harriet, and George Henry Hills, to which 500 privileged guests were invited, chosen from the over 2000 invited to the ceremony. In order to accommodate their guests, the family had erected a 20-foot by 50-foot pavilion off the circular dining room, only to have it dismantled the following day. Covered extensively by the press, it was noted that 'the array of beautiful dresses was probably never equaled in this city' and that 'the display of diamonds was extensive.' "

    The following is from [http://ccbit.cs.umass.edu/lizzie/images/documents/L0041F03.html],
    492 BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS:

    "The Merchants Manufacturing Company was organized October 24, 1866, and the factory built on the lot owned by the heirs of the N. B. Borden estate and by adjoining parties. It was through William H. Jennings that the enterprise was put through, he securing the capital of $800,000 in two days. The capital now is $1,500,000. The directors of the company consisted of James Henry, William H. Jennings, Augustus Chace, L. L. Barnard, Robert S. Gibbs, Charles H. Dean, Crawford E. Lindsey, Robert K. Remington, Lafayette Nichols; and James Henry was chosen president and William H. Jennings treasurer. The first cloth was turned out from the new mill in February, 1868, the structure being of granite and five stories in height. This building was enlarged in 1871, its total length then being 397 feet."
