Born in 1856 Rollin Simmons - Woodruft was born July 14, 1856 at Rochester, New York, son of Jamiah Woodruff and Clarise (Thompeon) Woodruff. After attending school in his native city, his parents moved - to New Haven where at the age of 15 he took his first employment in a hard- ware store as an errand boy. He next entered the employ of C. 8. Mersick and company of New Haven, one of the most extensive wholesale iron and steel dealers in New England. In this concern he held all the offices from the ground up to that of the president, which he held at the time of his death. Mr. Woodruft was also at different times director in the American Hardware company, New Britain; director in the Mechanics bank, New Haven; president of Cott-A- Lapp company of Somerville, N.

Few know that the city employe who for ten hours each day works | in overalls and jumper has been more than 20 years a minister of the gospel and in his home city, Hartford, Is known as Rev, Hey- worth McLean, “everybody’s minis- ter,” teachér of violin and a man who in 1912 predicted a European war in which the United States would eventually be involved. Cultured and Knows His Bible Mr. McLean is employed on the Elm street paving job. He is a man about 50 years of age, cultured and well versed in the Bible and In cur- rent events, For more than 30 years he has been engaged as a foreman in street construction. About a score of years ago he began preaching, fill- ing pulpits In churches, spreading the gospel through the avenue of open-alr meetings, and doing welfare work in the homes of the poor and tin hospitals. He is a member of the Shiloh Baptist church in Hartford. Mr. McLean has never been able to devote his full time to the minis- try, being the father of a family, but he has given freely of his spare time in the furtherance ot his avo- cation and he has during his 20 years as a pteacher appeared before congregations of all religious sects | with possibly a few exceptions. Mr. McLean first came into prom- inence in 1012, two years before the outbreak of the European war when he wrote President Wilson predicting a world wide conflict in which the United States ould be engaged. In 1914 after the central powers and |the allies had engaged in warfare he was asked If he regarded that as complete fulfilment of his prediction. He replied that it was but part and |that entry of the United FHtates, which occurred three years later, would be a consummation of the | {visions that had come to him. .His prediction of a World War did not come from Interpretation of Biblical quotations, he says, but from spec- tacles that appeared before his eyes. As plainly as he can see his hands, he explains, he could see masses of men making ready for conflict. Asked today if he belleved there will be another war, Mr. McLean re- Iplied in the affirmative, but said it |would be a long, long time before the next and worst war the world has ever known would take plac End of World Far Oft | The question put to everyone who attempts to predict, that of the time the world will come to an end, was | next asked of Mr, McLean, His ad- \\lcP was to belleve no one who at- {tempts to tell the time the world will ‘Dnd other than to say it will not be {for many years.
