Notes - South Kansas Tribune, Wednesday, April 17, 1895: Death of Col. Remington -- In the death of George L. Remington at the age of 67 years, which occurred April 12th, our city loses one of her very best citizens. A gentleman of high Christian character, who was always cheerful and helpful, and it was always his pleasure to do duty whatever that was. He served his country faithfully in the great civil war, enlisting early in 1861, he was elected Captain of the Twenty-first New York volunteers and served at the front until in 1864 when ill health compelled his resignation. The following year he was married to his now bereaved wife. He engaged in the wholesale tobacco business in Buffalo, New York, and subsequently was elected register of deeds in that county. Later with his family he removed to Saginaw, Mich., where he was in the lumber trade until 1882, when he located in this city. For a time he was engaged in the cattle business, but in 1885 connected himself with the First National Bank of this place, and has served a bookkeeper, vice-president, and for five years has been its cashier. As a business man he was honest, prompt, and always reliable, and his associates always found him a man of excellent judgment and of unswerying fidelity. He has served the city as Member of the Board of Education and for years he has been its president, and none have proved more faithful, or to have a more unflagging interest in the educational affairs of the city. In religion he was of the Presbyterian faith, and he honored the professions he made, by a life void of offense. He was superintendent of its Sabbath school, a leading official member, and often when the pastor would be absence Col. Remington was called on to officiate, and to read a sermon, and in the last general assembly of the church he was selected to represent the Neosho Presbytery as its lay delegate. He was gifted in oratory and has often been called on as a public speaker, and always did credit to himself and his subject. In his fraternal relations he was a member of McPherson Post No. 4, G. A. R.; of the Modern Woodmen, and of the several Masonic fraternities, having passed the chairs with honor. The funeral on Sunday, was at his home; and was in charge of the Knights of Templar, attended by the Master Masons and the Modern Woodmen. Sermon by his pastor, the Rev. G. W. Bean, assisted by Chaplain Rev. J. W. Wright.
