OLD SOLDIER CALLED
Daniel C. Collins was born in Indiana January 2nd, 1840. Before he grew to manhood he came to Iowa, and when but eighteen years of age, while in Hardin County, he enlisted in Iowa Volunteers, and rendered service to his country for eighteen months in the Civil War. He participated in the great battle of Pittsburgh Landing and also at Corinth and other engagements.
For a number of years he has been a member of the George Crook Post No. 202 G.A.R. of the Department of Nebraska.
He was united in marriage in the year 1870 to Hannah Ann Murr. For several years they made their home near Oakdale in the western part of Monroe County, where this happy union was severed by the death of the wife and mother on November 28, 1880, leaving beside the husband, four sons to mourn her loss.
He then went to Omaha, Nebraska, where he resided until nine years ago, when he returned to Iowa, making his home with his sons, Aaron and Charley, of this place. He enjoyed good health until Christmas, when he became somewhat afflicted. His affliction continued to increase, and although he was able to sit up but two days before his death, the grim reaper had his way, and on March 4th, 1922, while at the home of his son, Aaron, his spirit took flight. He had reached the ripe old age of 83 years, 2 months and 9 days.
When but a young man he accepted Christ as his personal Saviour, and united with the Methodist church at Oakdale. He soon felt the call to service and became a local preacher, holding many successful revivals and continuing in this service until the death of his wife. Since returning to Iowa, and during the pastorate of Rev. W. E. Grey, he united with the Evangelical church at Beulah, where he remained faithful until his death.
Those who remain to mourn his loss are four sons: William Fletcher Collins of Portland, Oregon, John L. of Whitman, Nebraska, and Aaron and Charley, of Russell; two brothers, Amos and Lemuel, of Iowa Falls; one sister, Mrs. Mary St. John of Eldora, Iowa, and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. C. McKinley from the Methodist church in Russell and his body was laid to rest in the Russell cemetery. The local posts of the G.A.R. had charge of the services at the grave, assisted by the members of the Charley Clark Post of the American Legion.
