Remington, Philo
inventor, was born Oct. 31, 1816, in Litchfield, N. Y.
With his brothers, Samuel and Eliphalet, the firm of E. Remington and Sons was established, and for upward of twentyfive years he continued in charge of the mechanical department. In 1886 the Remingtons disposed of their type-writing-machine manufacturing business, and soon afterward the firm of E. Remington and Sons went into liquidation. Since then Mr. Remington has lived in retirement.
Philo Remington was for nearly twenty years president of the village of Ilion, and with his brother has given Syracuse university sums aggregating $250,000.
