COLLINS, F.W. - F.W. Collins was born in Ohio September 23, 1844 and died August 30, 1913. He served in the Federal army during the Civil War. From Ohio he went to Missouri and from thence came to Benton county, Arkansas while still a young man. Here he resided till death claimed him. Over forty years ago he professed faith in Christ and joined the Christian Church. In that commission he lived the rest of his days. He had small faith in a profession of christianity without its corresponding fruits. He valued men for their character rather than for the organization to which they belonged. In our talks together he often spoke of the importance of the formation of right character and of being prepared for the change that awaits us all. Though we differed on some points of Bible doctrine, I esteemed him as a man who believed that God's people may be one in aim without being one in name. His love was not bound by denominational lines. He leaves three children, two daughters in this county and a son in Texas. His remains were laid to rest in New Home Churchyard, funeral services being conducted by this writer, assisted by the Odd Fellows of which order he was a worthy member. J.A. Fair.
