Merchant, Banker and State Senator.

Born Rollin Albert Horr on 26 Nov 1830 (one of twin brothers) at Waitesfield, VT to 26 Nov 1830 to Roswell Horr and Caroline Turner. Died 31 Dec 1894 of Brights disease at Wellington, OH. Marriage was on 13 Jun 1853 to Sarah Amanda Ames at Huntington, OH. She was b. 2 Oct 1832 at Becket, MA. and d. 1 Jan 1895 at Wellington, OH. Rollin received an elementary education in the public schools, and became a clerk in a store in Huntington, Lorain County. He subsequently entered the cheese business and farming and stock dealing there, and made that his home for fifteen years. He assisted in the organization of the First National Bank of Wellington in 1864, and in the spring of that year moved to Wellington, where he lived the rest of his life. He was cashier of the First National Bank for twenty-seven years, becoming vice-president by 1894. Rollin was for a time a member of the extensive lumber firm of W. R. Santly & Co., and besides being a vice-president of the First National Bank he was (as of 1894) secretary of the Clarksfield Stone Company. He was nominated by the regular Republican caucus, and elected to the State Senate from the 27th and 29th Senatorial Districts in 1879, serving during the sessions of 1880-81 and 1882-83. As a State Senator he at some time served as president pro-tem of the Senate. He was, subsequently, the Republican nominee from the 14th Congressional District. On 8 Oct 1891 he was appointed special employee of the United States Treasury Department by Secretary Foster, and served in that capacity until 1 Jun 1893, when he was removed by the Democratic administration. In the 1890s Rollin was a man of medium height and large proportions.
