The Hulda living with Smith COLBY and his wife Samantha in the 1870 census
for Bremer County, Iowa, was the mother of Samantha (Robinson) Colby. The
census should have said Hulda ROBINSON born in NH in about 1802. I don't
know what Hulda's maiden name was. She was first married to a man with a
surname of SCOTT in New Hampshire where he son Charles H. Scott was born in
1831. In 1838 in Granger, Ohio she married a Samuel ROBINSON of Vermont (b:
1785)
I truly and surely wish that Smith was the child of Joseph and Hulda. For
right now his parents names are unknown to me.

This would be "my" Smith Colby family. Smith was born in Erie County, New
York in 1828. I have not been able to find which of the Colby men in
Sardinia he is descended from. Ethel was his and Samantha Robinson's daughter.
Ethel was the first school teacher in Okobojo, Sully, South Dakota. Thank you
for posting the Obit on Ethel I didn't have that. Do you know what
publication it was in?

Here is the entire Obit. with the source.
SOURCE: Ancestry.com, Newspapers, Nashua Reporter, Nashua, IA, 14 Aug 1929.
" Ethel Colby, only daughter of Smith and Samantha Colby, was born near Waverly, 9 Feb 1865, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Maud Olney at South Elgin, IL, 6 Aug 1929. She grew to womanhood in Bremer County, moving with her parents to Pierre, SD, where she taught school. In Apr 1884 she was married to John O. Hinmon and to this union 10 children were born, two of whom preceeded her in death. In 1887 the family returned to Iowa, residing at Plainfield, Sheldon, New Hampton, Waverly and Charles City. she was a member of the Methodist Church, the Rebecca Lodge, Royal Neighbors and the American War Mothers. having one son who served in the Navy and one son in the Army during the World War. The husband died 2 Sep 1924. Survivng are the following children: Mrs. Maud Olney of Elgin, IL; Mrs. Ethel Finch of Rudd, IA; Mrs. Estelle Furuish of Detroit, MI; Everett E. and Willard W. of Charles City; Kenneth of Glenwood, Harry of Seattle, WA and John O. of
Menlo Park, CA."
Ethel Colby's husband, John Hinmon is my 2nd cousin one generation removed. My wife is a "Colby" so I was wondering how Ethel Colby might be connected to my wife's family.
I have a lot of info on the Hinmon's, that goes back to my Fuller family.

I noticed in her obit mention of the Colby Camps. Does anyone know what the Colby camps were - family gatherings, children's camps or what ?

WHITEFIELD, ME -- Doris E. (Colby) Miete, 91, passed away May 20, 2009, at Country Manor Nursing Home in Coopers Mills, with family by her side.
Born Nov. 17, 1917, she was the first of seven children born to Chester and Marieta (Kennedy) Colby. Doris attended the Coopers Mills grammar school and graduated from Cony High School. She then went to Gorham State Teachers College in Gorham.
Doris taught school in both of the one-room schoolhouses in Somerville. During World War II, she worked at Bath Iron Works, piloting training planes to teach new pilots how to fly. During the Korean War, she was a civil defense airplane spotter in Coopers Mills.
In 1946 she married Olavi (Ool) Miete. They had one son, Jon.
Doris went back to school at the University of Maine at Orono, then taught fourth grade at Sheldon Street Grammar School in Farmingdale until her retirement. She loved teaching and was very passionate about it. In her spare time, she took classes in oil painting, tole painting, pottery, stained glass and many other crafts. She had an insatiable hunger to learn new things. She would master one thing, then move on to something new. Her hunger to learn was as strong as her hunger to teach.
Doris was more than a grandmother to her granddaughter, Jessica. She helped tremendously in raising her.
Doris had a vegetable garden. Most years, her pride and joy was having peas before the Fourth of July. She loved to spend summers at the Colby camps on China and Sheepscot lakes. She would go to Pemiquid Trail and stay at Vi McCormic's camp with other teachers every summer for a couple of weeks at a time. In her spare time, she enjoyed a good game of golf with her sister, Joanne, and husband Richard. She enjoyed every season and had an activity that she enjoyed for each one. In the fall, she loved to go leaf peeping.
She was a member of St. Giles Episcopal Church in Jefferson and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She devoted more than 15 years and countless hours to delivering Meals on Wheels for Senior Spectrum, based in Hallowell. She always said it was so much more than just volunteering to drop off meals. "Sometimes I might be the only person they see, and it's that smile I get when I walk through their door that makes me feel so good," she said. She always put others ahead of herself, and it gave her great satisfaction to do just that.
Doris was predeceased by both her parents; brothers Rufus and Russ Colby; and a sister, Margaret Mooney.
She is survived by her son, Jon A. Miete, of Whitefield; the granddaughter she raised, Jessica J. and husband Dustin Ward of Whitefield; special great-grandchildren Matthew J. Miete and Shauna M. Wade, both of Whitefield, and Morgan J. Ross of Colebrook, N.H.; sisters Jaunita Foye, of Coopers Mills, Joanne Gross and husband Richard, of Farmingdale, and Jeanne Feyler and husband Clint, of Mount Vernon; her brother, Jerre Colby and wife Carolyn, of Windsor; along with several nieces, nephews and friends.
Because education and children were such a large and important part of who Doris was, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a college fund for her great-grandchildren in care of Jon Miete, 428 Mills Road, Whitefield, ME 04353.
A celebration of her life will be set forth at a later date.

preceded her in death in 1986.
She was also preceded in death by three brothers, Warren, George and Ralph
Colby and a sister, Lucy Lockie.
Dell was a 1938 graduate of Wayland Academy in Beaver Dam, WI and received

younger daughter of my grandfather's half brother, Logan Hall Colby.
