Obituary: Francis Colt de Wolf Jr., 68, a member of a prominent Washington family, died April 4 of heart failure at George Washington University Hospital after a prolonged illness. A Washington native, Mr. de Wolf was a descendant of two prominent New England families, the deWolfs and the Colts - ancestor Sam Colt invented the famous revolver that bears his name.

When the family returned to Washington, they lived in Georgetown at the "Bodicso House," 3320 O St. NW, once the site of the Russian Legation.
Mr. de Wolf attended St. Albans School for Boys but left at age 17 to join the Marines. He later served in the Army as an aerial photographer in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
He then attended George Washington University, but returned to military duty at the outbreak of the Korean conflict, doing film work that recorded the activities of ground units there. He later served the Signal Corps in Germany, resigning with the rank of captain in 1956.
From then until his retirement in 1981, Mr. de Wolf worked as a broker with the Washington office of the Sun Life Insurance Co.
An avid reader, he was by avocation a historian and genealogist and a member of many hereditary organizations, including the Mayflower Descendants, the Huguenot Society, the Order of Founders and Patriots, the General Society of Colonial Wars and the Society of the Cincinnati.
He was a member of the Chevy Chase and Metropolitan clubs and of DACOR-Bacon House.
Mr. de Wolf is survived by his wife, Doda (Princess Dorota Drucka Lubecka), a daughter, Elizabeth Lindsay Colt de Wolf, and a son, Francis Colt de Wolf III, all of Washington; and a brother, Bradford Colt de Wolf of Great Falls.
