Waldo Lincoln, Resident, 1893, died April 7, 1933, in the fullness of years, in the old Governor Lincoln Mansion at 49 Elm Street, Worcester, where he had spent the greater part of his life. He was another of the leading citizens of Worcester and was well known as an antiquarian and genealogist. After a year at the Lawrence Scientific School in Cambridge, his early years were spent in the metal business. When sixty years of age he retired from business, and thereafter published a genealogy of the Waldo family. He served as president of the American Antiquarian Society, and for ten years he was treasurer of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
