Gathering, 1-4 p.m., Feb. 28, home of Wendy & Tom Caron, 19 Turkey Hill Dr., Boothbay Harbor. =============================================== Russell Martin Colby III (Feb 19, 1950 - Feb 15, 2009) Russell Martin Colby III, 58 GARDINER -- Russell Martin Colby III, 58, of 323 Old Gardiner Rd., Gardiner, passed away peacefully of cancer on Feb. 15, 2009, at Togus, surrounded by his loving wife, Barbara; his son, Rhett; and many of his friends and family having said their good-byes. Russell was a free spirit loved by all. He touched so many lives in such a positive way. Russell loved being at his 'farm,' where he and Barbara shared their love of their gardens with Looka (his dog) and Annie (their cat), and enjoying the wild birds, flowers and all God's creatures. He loved camping, hunting, fishing, gardening, riding his 'Harley;' collecting a little bit of everyone and everything he knew; and his precious moments with his wife, son, brother, sister and many, many buddies. His journeys on his bike make us smile because he loved that time and the happiness it brought him and all around him. A Viet Nam Veteran proud of serving his country, he served in the Army as PFC beginning on Dec. 29, 1969, returning home Jan. 28, 1971. We are all at peace knowing he's at rest. Russell attended South Portland High School. He was an artist, carpenter, collector, a Historian and an advisor. His wisdom has helped the growth of all he knew. He was predeceased by his mom, Geneva Cushing Colby, his dad, Russell Martin Colby Jr.; and his sister, Wendy Colby Stoll. He is survived by his devoted wife, Barbara Blake Colby of Gardiner; his son, Russell Martin Colby IV; his grandsons, Slade Colby and Ryder Colby of Pensacola, Fla.; his sister Judy Colby Jordan of Boothbay Harbor and Peaks Island, his brother, William Cushing Colby and his wife Susan Lord Colby; nieces, Christine Colby and Jessica Colby of South Portland, Wendy Caron of Boothbay Harbor, Kimberley Millican of Sunrise, Fla., and Cindy Nelly/Alcorn of Gainesville, Fla., his nephew Charles Stoll; aunt Marjorie Cushing Churchill of South Portland, aunt Ruth Greene of Bath; and several great-nieces, cousins and nephews. At Russell's request there will be no funeral or visiting hours. There will be a 'Celebration of Life' at Russell and Barbie's home in Gardiner on Aug. 8, 2009. All are welcome. Russell will be laid to rest at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Augusta. There will be a 'gathering' of friends and family from 2-4 p.m. on Feb. 28, at the home of Wendy and Tom Caron, 19 Turkey Hill Dr., Boothbay Harbor. Bring your love, memories and pictures to share. You are invited to share your thoughts, condolences and fond memories with the Colby family by visiting Russell's guest book at www.mem.com.

Guy, What is your Colby family line before Guy & Lucy? Bob Colby

Marilyn -- Thanks for this note. Oddly, I do not know who this boy was. My great grandparents, Guy Irving and Lucy Maria (HIGGINS) COLBY, moved to Chicago from Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1887 or 1888. Lucy's father, Joshua Warren HIGGINS, was the brother-in-law of Gustavus SWIFT, and he wangled a job for Guy with Swift & Co. In 1895, the family moved down to Springfield, where Guy became manager of the Swift meat packing plant there. My grandfather, Guy Irving COLBY Jr., was born in Lawrence in 1887, and he lived until 1955. However, he did have two siblings who died in Chicago as small children. Both of them are listed in the pre-1916 Illinois Statewide Death Index: COLBY, FRANK E[ASTMAN] 1893-05-10 CHICAGO 04 DA U 00002971 COOK COLBY, MARIAN H 1894-03-09 CHICAGO 05 YR U 00002511 COOK This was a devastating blow, for my great grandparents to lose two children in less than a year. I have a photo of the latter child, Marion Higgins COLBY, taken just a few months before her death. My father's sister, Marion Dell COLBY (1909-1929) was named for her, and I also have a daughter named Marion Dell. The 14 year old boy who died in Chicago in 1899 was not a part of this family.

She states that she was born in New York in about 1837. Information seems to track her in about the same areas at the same times as John SOMMERVILLE. She married Jonas P. COLBY in Summit Wisconsin in the sametime frame that John SOMMERVILLE lived in the Oconomowoc / Summit area. She moved witn Jonas to Iowa aboput the same time that John anf family moved on to Nebraska. There is a wealth on information that does make it apperar that sge was the daughter of John. All ezecpt she does not show on any census until she is married to Jonas COLBY. This is very puzzeling. Does she match anywhere?
