Brother of Edward 0. Wolcott, United States senator from Colorado.
While serving as a member of the Colorado senate, became acting governor of the state, and his sister, Miss Anna Louise Wolcott, now Mrs. Joel P. Vaile, was elected regent of the State University in 1910.
The Wolcott family are the possessors of a coat of arms, which includes three chess-rooks, the use of which was authorized by Henry V to one of the ancestors, who checkmated the king in a game of chess.
It was Samuel Wolcott, great-grandfather of Senator Wolcott, who served with the American forces in the Revolutionary war. He was the father of Elihu Wolcott and the latter in turn the father of the Rev. Samuel Wolcott, who was born in South Windsor. Connecticut. July 2, 1813, and passed away at Longmeadow, Massachusetts, in February, 1886.
Son of Samuel Wolcott, D. D., and
Harriet Amanda (Pope) Wolcott.
He was one of a family of eleven children, ten of whom attained adult age, the ones besides the Senator and Henry Roger Wolcott being:
Samuel Adams, who died in New London, Connecticut,in 1912; Harriet Agnes,who became the wife of F. 0. Vaille, of Denver, and died there in August, 1917; the Rev. William Edgar Wolcott who died in 1911 in Lawrence, Massachusetts;
Katherine Ellen, the wife of Charles Hansen Toll, of Denver, Colorado, who was at one time attorney general of the state; Anna Louise, widow of Joel F. Vaile and formerly principal of the Wolcott School of Denver and regent of the University of Colorado; Clara Gertrude, living in Boston, Massachusetts; Herbert Walter, who makes his home in Cleveland, Ohio; and Charlotte Augusta, the wife of Colonel Charles Francis Bates of the United States Army.

Denver.

HENRY R. WOLCOTT, DENVER MILLIONAIRE, IS CALLED BY DEATH
Henry Roger Wolcott, 75 years old, retired millionaire manufacturer from Denver, Colo., died at the home of Harry Withers, Paiolo and 15th Aves., Kaimuki, at 4:30 o'clock this morning. Death was due to advanced age.
The deceased came to Honolulu in December, 1914, to visit Mr. Withers, and had planned to stay but a short time. Climate and pleasant conditions here were instrumental in prolonging his stay.
He was host at many social functions during the time he was in the city.
Mr. Wolcott was at one time owner and president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Works in Denver, but retired from active business life about 15 years ago. He was unmarried.
Surviving him are a brother, Herbert, in Buffalo, and three sisters: Mrs. Anna Wolcott Zaile, principal of the Wolcott Girls' school in Denver; Mrs. Katherine Coll and Miss Clara Coll of Denver. He was also a brother of Edward Wolcott, United States senator from Colorado, who died several years ago.
The remains will be embalmed and sent to Denver June 8 for the funeral services. They will then be sent to Woodlawn, N. Y., for burial.
