    Notes:

    From an email by Chandler Smith Cheek:
    I have letters written by Daniel and Sheldon to my great grandfather Chandler Holmes Smith in Madison, Florida. One was sad. Sheldon writes the following about his sister Elizabeth: "When I left you in Jasper (FL), little did I think that I should come back home and find one member of my father's little family missing. (Sheldon's father was Nicholas, Chandler's Uncle and Elizabeth would have been Sheldon's 20-year-old sister). Such however is the case. Elizabeth is dead. She went to Hinesville on a visit, was taken sick and died very suddenly. Poor creature it has been her lot to suffer in this world - but no doubt tonight she is better off than she was in this
    world. Elizabeth was a dear girl and had a great many friends. All who knew her, loved her, 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' Although we have lost a dear, kind sister, our loss is her eternal gain. Pa seemed very much affected indeed. I feel sorry for the poor old man. I think he looks thinner and worse than I ever saw him."

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give source credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and to other sources as noted herein.)

    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]
