James Wingate Rollins died at his home in West Roxbury, Mass., February 22. He was ill but a few days, up to which time he had enjoyed remarkably good health. He was born in Somersworth, N. H., April 19, 1827, being son of James and Sally (Wingate) Rollins. He taught at South Berwick, Me., in 1847-8, and read law in that town. He began practice in Boston in May, 1850, and was the second oldest member of the Boston bar. A few years since he retired from active practice to live quietly at his home in West Roxbury. He had lived there since first coming to Boston, and in earlier years, when the place was a separate town, he had served on the school committee and been its chairman. Nov. 22, 1855, he married Mrs. Sophia Webb (Hutchins) Atwill, who died in 1894. Two sons and two daughters survive.
