  2. 3.  Lalla G. Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Mary1) was born 5 Aug 1874, GA; died Aft 8 Aug 1943.

    Notes:

    Lalla West wrote to my grandmother Laura (Chafee) Remington at least twice in 1943, after the death of my uncle Russel Remington in World War II. Lalla, who was living in La Grange, Illinois, had seen his name on the list of the war dead, and wrote to "Family of Russel P. Remington" in East Greenwich, RI. Lalla was very interested in Remington family connections. She said she was proud of the many Remington boys serving our country, and urged my grandmother to get comfort and strength from her Bible.

    Lalla says "I have long been a D.A.R."

    From handwritten notes of Virginia Adair: "As a child my grandmother, born in 1874, the daughter of William Aborn Remington, used to visit her widowed grandmother, Sally Anne Arnold Remington, in RI. As she had two Arnold lines back to William Arnold I have lots of Arnold material -- even the old Sion Arnold Bible. I only wish I had questioned her and my mother about the early Remingtons!!"

    From the Georgia Genwen site:
