Sollis Alcandor Wolcott (1824-1905)Sollis was raised on a farm.  At the age of 21 he went to Boston.  Three years later he secured a job braking on the Boston & Worcester RR.  After his marriage, he tried farming near Chelsea, VT. For a year but his natural love for the railroad was too strong and he returned to the road.  He was soon appointed a conductor on the Vermont Central, where he remained until 1857, when he moved to Floyd, IA.  There he farmed two years and then ran a grocery store for two years.  He then sold out, returned to VT and entered the service of the Vermont Central RR Co., where he remained until 1863.  He returned to IA.  In the spring of 1864 he went to Dubuque and was a train master with the Dubuque & Sioux City line.  In 1871 he was appointed assistant superintendent of the Chicago & Minnesota River Road.  He held that position until 1888, when he moved to Gilmore City, IA, to improve a farm and be with his family.

Sollis was concerned about the number of his relatives and friends who were killed and injured hooking railway cars together to form a train.  The result of his meditations on the subject resulted in an idea for an automatic coupler for train cars.  To improve on his idea, he had two railway cars made on which he installed his couplers (prior to this time train cars were hooked together with chains).  However, Sollis showed his invention to some friends, who obtained a patent on the invention before Sollis.

His work on the device was done between 1881 and 1888 while he was working for the Chicago-Milwaukee & St. Paul RR.  After leaving the railroad in 1888, Sollis and his wife lived for a time with their son Sollis Alfred Wolcott.  When they moved to Gilmore City, IA, to retire, the model railway cars were left with Sollis Alfred.

Our family story has it that Sollis Alcandor returned home one morning carrying two large bundles.  He was weeping and asked his wife to call in all the children from playing, which she did.  He is to have said:  "Children, a terrible thing has happened to our Country.  Abraham Lincoln has been shot and is dead."  After trying to explain this tragedy to the children, he opened the two bundles he brought home and said:  "We will all decorate our house inside and out with this black cloth bunting to honor Lincoln," which they did.  At the sight of black bunting on the outside of the Wolcott home, some little Johnny-rebs came over to inquire what had happened.  The children told them that Lincoln had been shot and killed.  The young rebels expressed their approval of the shooting whereupon the Wolcott children chased the rebs out of the house and gave them a good licking.

Gov. of MA 1893-96, being acting Governor for most of latter year, Governor 1897-99.  Declined a position on Philippine Commission in 1900 and an appointment as U.S. Ambassador to Italy.  Held membership in MA Historical Society; Society of the Cincinnati; Loyal Legion and Society of Colonial Wars.  An overseer of Harvard University 1885-1895, and Director and trustee in many business and charitable organizations.  Received honorary degree of LL.D from WIlliams College, 1897.
He was bound in many ways by ties of affection and sympathy to thousands of men, women and children throughout the Commonwealth of MA.  There is a statue of him in the State House in Boston, erected by popular subscription.

Of him it has been written by Bishop William Lawrence, who was his friend for more than forty years, "There was that about him which defies analysis, which eludes definition, but which is found in those rare characters, who, like Philip Sydney, Chevalier Bayard, or Robert Louis Stevenson, gain our confidence, win our admiration, kindle our affection, and who, in their unconsciousness, make us conscious that we are in chivalric company.  He was a practical New Englander with a dash of idealism without which no New England Character is complete.  From boyhood he gained the affection of all sorts of people.  He drank deep, in poems, history, and the Bible, of Chivalric life.  In form and countenance, in presence and atmosphere, he was of nature's noblest."  (From Roger Wolcott by William Lawrence).

The following eulogy was delivered 1901 in Boston by U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of MA:  "We here have one of the rare instances of a family which starting in America with a man of fortune and good estate always retained its position in the community.  In the main line at least it never encountered the vicissitudes which attain nearly all families in the course of two hundred and fifty years.  The name never dropped out of sight, but was always borne up by its representatives in the same place in society as that held by the founder.  More remarkable still, in almost every generation there was at least one of the lineal male descendants of the first immigrants who rose to the very highest positions in military, political and Judicial life.  The list of judges, governors, cabinet officers and members of Congress in this pedigree is a long and striking one.  From the days of the Somersetshire gentlemen to those of the present generation, which has given a Governor to Massachusetts and a brilliant Senator from Colorado to the United States, the Wolcotts both as soldiers and civilians, have rendered service to their country, eminent as it has been unbroken.  War and Statecraft were in the blood of this race, and can we wonder that they have found fitting exemplars in our own time?  It is not a name made illustrious by some single ancestor in a dim past and suffered to rust unused by descendants who were content with the possession of a trademark.  Here is a long roll of honor where the son felt that he would be unworthy of his father if he did not add fresh lustre to the name he bore by service to his state and country, either in the hour of trial or in the pleasant paths of peace."

At age 17, John enlisted in the U.S. Army Tank Corps during WWI.  Sent to England and France to train.  One time he was charged with guarding the field where ammunition and tanks were stored.  A drunken American officer demanded to be admitted to the tank area.  John refused to open the gates, explaining to the officer that he had orders to admit no one to that area under any circumstances, and he was to shoot to kill anyone who tried to get by. 
The officer persisted.  John pulled his gun and told the officer he would shoot to kill if he persisted in trying to enter the territory.  When the officer saw that John meant business, he cursed John and left, saying he would have John arrested for disobeying an officer and pulling a gun on him.
John was brought before the Hearing Officers, charged with the above offenses.  After the Colonel heard John's testimony, John was found innocent of the charges and commended for his high sense of devotion to duty.  The officer was punished for his misconduct.

John had excellent rapport with the Canadian Indians in his vicinity.  He  was known as a just white man and on occasion loaned Indians small sums of money (no interest) to tide them over when the going was tough.  They always repaid their loans.  At John's funeral in 1972 in Ponoka, Alberta, Canada, two rows of seats were reserved in the church for the Indians.  Every seat was occupied, although the weather was cold and snowy and the church was a distance from the Hobbema Indian Reservation.

The passenger lists for the good ship Aquitania, sailing for England May 7, 1918, show Walter Samuel Wolcott among the members of Co F, 112th Infantry. Is he one of your Wolcotts? My Uncle, John B Wallace, was also a member of Co. F, and he was also on that boat, the unit's ultimate destination being France and the World War. My uncle sustained severe wounds at Fismette sometime in the Aug 9 - 11, 1918, time frame. I have been searching for memoirs, diaries, etc., that may have been recorded by his brothers-in-arms about the path of Co F in the Second Battle of the Marne and the Fismes/Fismette situation in WWI. The 28th Inf Div historian had nothing at the company level; and, so far, my search of the internet has disclosed nothing at the company or 2d BN level. Consequently, I thought I'd ask you folks if Walter Samuel had made any records of Company F activities. If he did and you wouldn"t mind sharing that information with me, I would really appreciate reading about the unit
