- The following was posted at genealogy.com, Remington Family Forum:
A biography of Sumner A. Remington is included in "Montana, Its Story and Biography", Vol 3, pages 824 & 825.
Sumner was born 10 Aug 1871, one of six sons of William and Mary (Graham) Remington. William was born 4 Mar 1830, Mumford, NY, was educated at Rochester University, and became a Baptist minister. Mary died when Sumner was a small child.
Sumner spent most of his youth in Michigan and attended Kalamazoo College. He then taught school in Homan, MI, and from there entered the University of Michigan. He came to Belt, MT, in 1894, and took charge of the one-room school. A new high school was built in 1897 and in 1908 the school facilities were enlarged. Since 1897, Sumner was continually superintendent of schools for 23+ years.
In 1897, Sumner married Miss Annie Mackie, a native of Scranton, PA. Remington children: Sumner A., Jr; Genevieve E; Charles E.; Ellen; Daphne; Maxine.
My notes:
According to the 1900 census, Sumner was born in Aug 1872. He and Annie are living at Belt, Cascade Co., MT; Sumner is a school teacher.
In 1910 they are still at Belt, MT; Sumner and Annie have three children and Sumner is still a teacher.
In 1920 the family is still at Belt: Sumner, Anna 40, Sumner A. Jr. 12, Geneveve 10, Charles 9, Helen 7, Daffney 4, Babe (daughter) 11 months. Sumner is a school principal.
