Lucius Seymour Storrs (January 4, 1869–July 4, 1945) was a geologist, financier, and notable railway official. He was president of the Connecticut Company, the American Electric Railway Association, the Los Angeles Railway Association, and the New England Investment and Security Company.
Storrs was born in Buffalo, New York, USA to Janet (Rankin) Storrs and Origen (or Origon) Seymour Storrs, 1st Sgt. in the Cortland County, New York Civil War 12th Regiment. His paternal grandparents, of English descent, were Lucius (born 1789) and Suzanne Storrs of Mansfield, Connecticut. He is the great-grandson of Dan Storrs (1748–1831), a selectman in Mansfield and a quartermaster of the Connecticut Militia, and Ruth Connant Storrs (1749–1792). His maternal grandparents, of Scottish descent, were Joseph and Janet Rankin.
On June 26, 1894, Storrs married Mary Louisa Cooper (born April 9, 1871, Greenville, Illinois). She was the daughter of Job Adams Cooper, sixth Governor of the State of Colorado. They had two children, a daughter, Margaret Storrs Grierson (born 1900), and a son, Lucius ("Luke") Seymour Storrs, Jr. (born 1910). Storr's job took the family to various parts of the country. From 1900 to 1907, they lived in Denver, Colorado and Bozeman, Montana. In early 1907, they moved to Boston, Massachusetts, then to Brookline, Massachusetts in July 1907, and Springfield, Massachusetts in October 1908. They moved to New Haven, Connecticut in 1911 and stayed for several years, making their home at 121 Whitney Avenue, and Storrs maintained an office at 129 Church Street.
