CRIGER ROLLO S, Mgr E Newman Criger, r1335 Madison ave, New York City.
Rollo and his wife Estelle S. Neiman had no children. Rollo lived most of his adult life back East, and his mother, Belle Louise Wolhaupter Criger visited him one year but a picture of them taken at the Statue of Liberty is not dated. Rollo passed away in 1960 in Miami, Florida but his wife did not let anyone in the family in Arizona know about his passing. His father, Lou Criger, had died many years before, in 1934 and his mother Belle had passed away in 1959, just 1-1/2 years before Rollo died, so Estelle did not contact anyone about his death. When Thora Criger (wife of Robert Criger, one of Rollo's brothers) sent Estelle a Christmas card in 1961, she then found out from Estelle that Rollo had been dead for over a year and Estelle passed away on December 24, 1961, shortly after Thora Young Criger had been in contact with her about Rollo's death. Rollo was cremated but it is unknown what was done with his ashes.
