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.
