B: 3/3/1864 Utica, Winona, MN
D: 12/13/1938 Seattle, King, WA (Lakeview Cemetery)


*Here the “infamous” question of his nephew comes to mind: “I wonder what ever happened to Uncle Rollo?”
Rollo was listed as a student in 1883, although where is unknown. The following years he’s listed as an artist and painter, working in Minneapolis as a sign painter for George W. Bayless in 1885. As mentioned under his brother William; in 1886/7, he and his brother William tried to establish a business in Minneapolis called the Barrett Bros., confectionery. The venture was unsuccessful. In 1889-90 he’s moved to Seattle, WA and is working as a painter for Cochran & Wallace. He started his own business (around 1891 with J.O. Rockwell) called Barrett & Rockwell, as sign painters. It eventually became Barrett Sign Company, and it was very successful, with Rollo being well known in Seattle. His son took over the business after Rollo’s death, but circumstances had the business eventually going under. Rollo enjoyed painting, and there’s an existing painting done by Rollo, which is in the position of one of his great-grandchildren.
