WOLLMAN, WILLIAM
J., New York City, (d. Mar. 26, 1937) bequeathesestate valued at between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 to brother
and sister with request that they or their survivor designate by will,
public charitable, educational, or scientific corporations or institutions
in New York City to receive principal of the residuary estate
Q. Who was the Wollman Rink in Central Park named for? My guess it's the Kate Wollman who the rink in Prospect Park was named after.
A. Well, not exactly.
The rink in Central Park was actually dedicated in honor of Kate Wollman's parents, Jonas and Bettie, who lived in Kansas, and her four brothers: William, Benjamin, Morton, who were bankers, and Henry, a lawyer.
Ms. Wollman, a philanthropist who lived in New York for 40 years and who was the last family survivor, donated $600,000 for the completion of the rink.
After her death in 1955, the William J. Wollman Foundation (founded by Ms. Wollman's brother) donated money for construction of a rink in her honor. The Kate Wollman Memorial Rink, in Prospect Park, was the result. It opened in 1961.
