 | | Since 1816, Eliphalet Remington II and his employees supplied the gunsmiths of the region and eventually the nation with superior rifle barrels from the family forge and foundry, first in rural Herkimer County, and then at Ilion. |
 | | As the couple's only son of their four children, Eliphalet II would follow in his father's footsteps and enter the flsmith trade at the family's rural forge in Herkimer County, New York. |
 | | Upon Eliphalet's death in 1861, his son, Philo, took over the firm during the Civil War, and diversified the product line to include sewing machines (manufactured from 1870 to 1894) and typewriters (1873), both of which were exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. |
