John Allen REMINGTON

Notes:

I have a copy of his birth certificate from Warwick, RI (Warwick Births, 1850 - 1882, Vol. 2, p. 5); a copy of his official marriage record from the RI State Offices in Providence, as well as the original page from the Town of Coventry marriage record book, p. 89; and his death certificate from Cranston, RI.

The 1880 census lists John A. Remington as age 12 at that time. I have a copy of the page from the census showing his family.

We have a nice portrait of John Allen dressed in his best suit, with a boutonnierre pinned to his right lapel. Perhaps it was a graduation picture, or even a wedding picture, as he was married quite young the first time -- not yet nineteen. His brown hair is neatly parted in the center and combed with a slight wave to either side. He has light eyes, like his father's, and fine regular features in an oval face. I definitely see a bit of his looks in our family, especially my uncles and my dad's cousins. We never knew much about my Great-grandfather Remington; things were left unsaid. His first wife died young of consumption, after only 1 1/2 years of marriage, which must have brought him much grief. Perhaps he took up drinking to cope with the sorrow, and then couldn't get away from it, even after marrying Angeretta, with whom he had two fine sons. For some reason they separated. He died so young, only 28 years old, of some form of cancer, according to the death certificate. I guess the whole story will never be known, so we've left it in God's hands.

John married Mary Wilson 26 Oct 1885, Coventry, RI. Mary (daughter of John A. Wilson and Jane Unknown) was born Oct 1867, Pennsylvania; died 11 Apr 1887. [Group Sheet]

Apparently Chester & Laura and family were not listed in the 1920 Federal Census, nor were their Whitford cousins who lived with them in the duplex farmhouse on Knotty Oak Rd., Coventry, RI.

However, in the 1925 Rhode Island Census they are on Hope Rd., Coventry.

This family farm, located on what is now Old Hope Lane, was called the Linden Farm in the old days, because the driveway was lined with beautiful linden trees. My grandfather kept a herd of cows and had a milk route. Their two-family farmhouse burned to the ground during the night on 27 Dec 1924, when my dad was six years old. Because the insurance had lapsed, my grandfather was not able to rebuild, so the family lived in a shanty on the property for a couple of years before moving away. This property has changed somewhat since the 1920s, but much of it remains the same -- the old stone walls, the pastures, and the lay of the land. A new house has been built in one of the pastures, the old barn has been replaced by a smaller one, and a couple of additional houses have been built along the driveway leading into the farm. It is now called Old Hope Farm.

In the 1930 Federal Census, the family is living at 365 Jackson Ave., Johnston, RI. In 1935 they were living at 1226 Plainfield St., Johnston.

In 1940 they were living at 24 Kilvert St. in Warwick, RI. Norman, Raymond, Chester, and Richard were living with their parents.

Chester married Laura Russel CHAFEE 28 Apr 1917, Coventry, Kent Co., RI. Laura (daughter of Frank Paine CHAFEE and Mary Elizabeth ANDREWS) was born 28 Apr 1899, Bristol, Bristol Co., RI; died 14 Mar 1975, Natick, Middlesex Co., MA; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Gladys was always so friendly. Once when my daughter Laura was little, we stopped at Gladys's home on Knotty Oak Road to say hello, and she invited us in. Laura, still a baby, was content for Gladys to hold her, and so she commented, "She's such a good baby -- she'll go to anybody!" Gladys came to our Christmas 1976 Open House at 81 Darrow Dr., and to the 50th Anniversary Open House for my parents at 183 Shun Pike (1991). She sent us a Christmas card every year. Though we were all very sad when she died, I believe she lived a good life and a long life. I have a copy of her online obituary from ProJo.com.

Gladys married Chauncey E. Champlin, Sr. 15 Oct 1930, Coventry, RI. Chauncey (son of Henry C. Champlin and Ida E. Congdon) was born 2 Jun 1910; died Apr 2000. [Group Sheet]

Donald — Marguerite "Peach" Tefft. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have two different copies of his birth certificate, one a card issued at Coventry, RI, and the other a paper from the RI Dept. of Health. I am told he was born on a Tuesday.

My dad Norman was born on the family farm off Knotty Oak Rd. in Coventry, RI. We have some pictures of the farm (see Remington section of the photo gallery, "Remington brothers together," at our web site). Tragically, the two-family farmhouse burned down when my dad was six years old. After this, his family moved into a shanty and stayed there for a while. Quoted below are some reminiscences from my dad Norman about his grandmother Angeretta (Whitford) Remington, about the big farmhouse, and about the fire there. They always believed the fire was set. The adjoining farm belonged to my dad's uncle, John Francis (we called him Uncle Fran), who kept cows there even when I was a child in the 1950s. We used to go blueberrying there, and I was afraid of being confronted face-to-face by a cow, which did actually happen once! In very recent years that property has passed out of our family, and part of it is now a new plat. One of the streets is Remington Farm Drive. On an old map, I've seen that another Remington may have owned that land adjacent to my great uncle.

About the farmhouse: "There were two front doors. The first one as one approached from the road led into a long hall way extending the width of the main section of the house. At the end was the door opening into the ell kitchen. Doors on the left were to my Grandmother's bedroom (used whenever she was with us) and to a downstairs bedroom. At a right angle to that was the door to the cellar stairs. The stairway to the upstairs rooms began near the door to the kitchen. From the right side of the hall were doors to the parlor (as it was called in those days) and the dining room.

"Grandma's bedroom windows were between the front doors. The second one was Aunt Velna's front door, which opened into a small entry, from which a door to the left led into her parlor.

"My grandmother [Angeretta] was a practical nurse, attending women about to give birth and for some time afterwards. Confinements lasted several days at that time. Between work opportunities she would be on the farm, sleeping in her room in our house, where the furnishings were hers. So my earliest memories are that she was with us from time to time. When she was there she was a great help to my mother. Later on she also worked as a housekeeper/cook. When I was in the second grade she kept house for a Mrs. Maynard (or Menard), who was legally blind. This was on Boston Street, Anthony, which is off the main street directly opposite the big mill.

"The fire destroyed the house December 27, 1924. It was discovered some time before daybreak, when my mother thought my father was trying to waken her. Later, she always said she thought it was an angel. Anyway, she smelled smoke, and woke my father. Our collie dog, Major, usually was in the kitchen overnight (no doubt, during cold weather), and he pushed open the door to the hall, again no doubt because of flames and heat. All of us were out of the house, and in my father's truck, in the big meadow across the driveway from the house, while it was still dark."

Dad enlisted at Providence, RI, on 29 Aug 1942, as a Private in the US Army. He was a resident of Providence, married, an insurance clerk with 2 years of college; height 74 inches and weight 158 lbs.

Norman married Edna Virginia BERRY 6 Sep 1941, Providence, RI. Edna (daughter of John Holland BERRY and Ellen COLEMAN) was born 25 Mar 1918, Providence, RI; died 20 Nov 2010, Warwick, Kent Co., RI; was buried 24 Nov 2010, Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Raymond Remington is listed in the 1936 yearbook of Central High School, Providence, as the Treasurer of the club Il Circolo Giovanile.

The 1941 Cranston City Directory listed him as a station attendant at the Esso Service Station in Hillsgrove.

Ray enlisted in the US Navy on 14 Aug 1941.

After serving in the Navy, Raymond came home from the service 8 Feb 1948.

The One Consolation of a Soldier

poem written by Pvt. Russel Philip Remington on January 2, 1943
sent to his mother, Laura Russel Remington, from North Africa, during World War II
he died in combat on March 31, 1943

Dear Mom as I sit looking up into the sky tonight
all lighted with millions of stars and the silvery moonlight
My thoughts are brought closer to home and you
Because this same sky over me is over you too.
The sky covers a great span
over thousands of miles of sea from land to land
On that side is glittering New York and home
and on this side the dark African sand and me sitting alone.
There's a bitter war to be fought over here
where many fellows like me are fighting
for loved ones at home who we love so dear.
But some day we're going to win this fight
And then we too will be looking at
the other side of the sky and the moonlight.

Obituary:
Coventry, RI - Rollo F. Champlin, “Champ”, CAPT. C.P.D. Ret., passed away on March 2, 2021 at his beloved home in Coventry on his 86th birthday. Rollo was married to Mary E. (Rathbun) Champlin on September 29, 1962 at Meshanticut Baptist Church in Cranston, RI. They had been married for 58 years.

Born in East Greenwich, RI, the son of the late Gladys (Remington) Champlin and the late Chauncey E. Champlin Sr., he spent his entire life in Coventry. He is predeceased by his cherished brother Chauncey E. Champlin, Jr, and by his sister Joan (Champlin) Greene.
He was the proud father of four daughters: Cheryl A. McCulley & her husband John of Littleton, CO; Cynthia L. Durkin & her husband Sean of Coventry; Susan N. Pimental & her husband Michael of Greene, and Sherry L. Champlin of West Warwick. Rollo was a loving and devoted grandfather also known as “Putt Putt” to his 10 grandchildren: Erin McCulley of Buffalo Grove, IL; Lauren McCulley of Denver, CO; Matthew & Zachary Durkin of Coventry; Nathanael, Jacob & Jared Pimental of Greene, and Ava, Aubrey & Adrianna Carsetti of West Warwick.

Rollo was a baseball and basketball player at the old Knotty Oak Coventry High School where he graduated in 1952. As a young man, Rollo worked as a milkman for Remington's Dairy while volunteering at the Anthony Fire Department for 11 years. He became one of the 1st permanent fireman in the Town of Coventry. He also joined the Coventry Police as a Special Officer. In fact, at one point he wore two uniforms, fire and police, serving in both capacities. He started his police career as a part-time officer, moving to full-time and was promoted to Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, and Acting Chief of the Coventry Police Department, serving the Town of Coventry for 32 years. While working as a police officer, Rollo also attended Bryant College and transferred to Salve Regina College graduating with an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice in 1974.

Being a police officer was his dream following in the footsteps of his grandfather, J. Francis Remington. He highly valued education and was extremely proud of his four daughters who all earned college degrees. Belonging to the Masonic Fraternity, Rollo was a 63-year member of Manchester Lodge No. 12 F&AM, Anthony. He loved NASCAR racing, hardly ever missing a race. He spent many weekends "going to the races". He would attend races at Seekonk Speedway on Friday, Stafford Springs on Saturday and then Thompson, CT on Sundays following his favorite local modified driver, Mike Stefanik, from Coventry.

Rollo was an avid Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins and New England Patriots fan. There was hardly a time that he was not watching sports. He loved Chevrolet trucks, country music (especially Johnny Cash), and camping with his family on Johnson's Pond at Camp Ayoho.

He loved the Town of Coventry and particularly enjoyed reminiscing about the history of the biggest town in the State of Rhode Island. Rollo was well known for his easygoing personality, dedication, smile, famous family lines and especially for his sense of dignity. He was a man of high character living life based on his Masonic teachings of “friendship, morality, brotherly love, relief and truth”.

Visitation will be held at Carpenter-Jenks Funeral Home, 659 East Greenwich Avenue, West Warwick, RI on Sunday, March 7 from 9:00 – 11:00 AM.
