November 23, 1995Henry F. Wolcott, who is believed to be the last man to work a farm in West Hartford, died Monday at a convalescent home in Newington. He was 94.
During about half a century of farming, Mr. Wolcott, a member of one of the oldest families in Connecticut, grew a little bit of everything.
His son Peter D. Wolcott of Colchester said he raised vegetables as well as sheep and a couple of cows.
Mr. Wolcott ran his farm and a roadside farmer's market on New Britain Avenue in West Hartford until 1969, when he moved to Newington.
The town of West Hartford obtained his property and it is now the site of Wolcott Park and Wolcott School, named for Mr. Wolcott's father.
Mr. Wolcott was a committed churchman as well as a farmer. He graduated from Hartford Theological Seminary and was involved in religious education for many years in schools and churches.
He was a member of First Church of Christ, Congregational, in West Hartford, and more recently was an active member of the Church of Christ, Congregational, Newington.
For more than 40 years Mr. Wolcott was active in the Boy Scouts of America. He began working with Troop 12 at the West Hartford church, then became involved in regional scouting in Greater Hartford. He was awarded one of scouting's most distinguished service awards, the Silver Beaver.
Peter Wolcott said his father probably had given up on horses when gasoline-powered farm equipment and automobiles arrived on the scene. But at age 75, he became an active and successful shower of Morgan horses at competitions around New England, driving the horses from a two-wheeled buggy.
Mr. Wolcott was born in West Hartford. He was married to Elizabeth (DeCou) Wolcott, who died before him.
