OBITUARY George Thomas Collins, son of Whitfield and Mary Ann Collins, was born near Bainbridge, April 10, 1852, and passed from this life Jan. 10, 1935, age 82 years and nine months. At at early age his father’s family moved to Jefferson township, where lie spent he spent tne L H 1 . riery he spent the remainder of his life, excepting the last few months, when because of declining health of himself and his companion, they made their | home with their daughter, Mrs. Cora; Sallust, near Greencastlc. He was united in marriage to Mary Ellen Runyan on Sept. 24. 1871. 1 They traveled life’s pathway together i more than 63 years. Death has broken this earthly bond. To this union two children were born, Emory, of Mt. Meridian, and Mrs. Cora Sallust. of near Grcencastle. He leaves to mourn their loss the dear companion of those many years, the two devoted children, three grandchildren, four great grandchildren and two great great grand children. In his home was his primary interest and in the latter years his attention was centered in his children, grandchildren and their children. And they may well hold in loving mem•iry the devotion of this grand parent. Of his father’s family, he was preceded in death by two brothers. John and James, and one sister. Mrs Hester Pickens. He is survived by two half sisters, Mrs. Winnie Hurst of Mt. Meridian and Mrs. Nota Howell of Toledo, O. Mr. Collins united with the New r rovidence Missionary Baptist church. March 20, 1876. To this church he was a faithful and active inembei loi more than a half ecntury. At the time of his death he was probably the oiliest man who .had helped build the church house. A man of somewhat retiring nature who attended to his own affairs, but a true friend and neighbor, has gone from among men. In our moments of serious meditation we are brought face to face with facts and arc made to realise with keenness and a vivid and poignant regret sometimes That mind's picture of our community has changed decided-1 !y within the last twenty years. Almost c new picture is before us today. Those sturdy, active and frugal pioneers of the past have served w 11 their day. They builded well and laid the foundation for the future society. They have passed from their labor. They have gone to their regards. Few are left. We are met hero today, to do honor to, and res) ect the memory of one of the last of this past generation. One whose life and services is today a closed, hook as far as earthly affairs are concerned. The immortal spirit has returned to God who gave it. Thus is fulfilled the prondse made to them who are faithful to the end. A few lines from the poem “Wait- 1 »ng By the Gate” written by the great poet Bryant, in his later days, seems fitting today: "Beside a massive gateway built upi in years gone by, Upon whose top the clouds in eternal shadow lie. While stream* the sunshine on quiet wood and lea. I stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me. Behold the portals open, and oe’r the j threshold now j There steps a weary one with a pale furrowed brow; Hill count of years is full, his allotted task is wiought; He passes to his rest from n place that needs him not.” Card of Thunks We vish to extend sincere thunks ard i.ppieciation for the many kind mess.i.- ea of love and understanding and l onutlful floral offerings during the death of our beloved husband, father and grandfather. We wish to thenk the ministers for their consoling words; the singers, pallbearers, undertaker anil for the kind help from our friends. Mrs Mary E. Collins. Mr. and Mrs. Emory Collins Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Sallust, The Grandchildren.
