His obituary incorrectly labels him as a "Jr.", his father as a "Sr." and his son as the "III". He was actually the fourth in a line of Daniel James Collins.
NOTE: There is some debate on Daniel James Collins Sr's middle name. Various sites (including FAG) list it as "Joseph", however after contacting owners of this information, none are able to provide documentation with any middle name. His son's (Daniel James Collins Jr) middle name is listed as "James" in the U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 (serial nbr 3238).
If anyone finds documentation of Sr's middle name, please provide to the owner of this memorial.
