Philena Crandall Remington, wife of Delos D. Remington, was born September 12, 1836, and died at her home in Andover, October 26, 1919.
Her entire life has been spent in the towns of Independence and Andover, and the last thirty years in the village of Andover. March 10, 1861, she was married to Delos D. Remington who survives. Though advanced in years her heart was young as revealed by her finding many of her closest friends from a younger generation. In early life she united with the Independence Church, but on removing to the village of Andover she united with the Andover Seventh Day Baptist Church, of which she has been an interested and loyal member. Besides her husband she leaves a host of friends as was attested by the large assemblage at the farewell services conducted by her pastor, W. L. Greene, and assisted by Rev. W. P. Trowbridge who as a boy had lived in their home. W. L. G.
