William W. Collier was born near Benton, Saline Co., Ark., about 1834, and is a son of Stephen Collier, a native of Virginia, who married a Miss France, also a native of Virginia. Stephen Collier came to Arkansas at an early day, and located in Saline County, where his first wife died when our subject was an infant. He afterward married
again, and removed to Johnson County, where he afterward resided. His death occurred away from home in the fall of 1845, while visiting a brother-in-law in Newton County. After his father's death William W.
resided with an uncle in Newton and Carroll Counties until he was twenty years of age. Beginning life then for himself, he worked in a tan-yard for one year, but since then he has been engaged in farming. About 1858 he was married in Carroll County to Tennessee Allread, a native of Arkansas. They located on a farm on Dry Fork, and it was here that his first wife died, about eighteen months after their marriage. Mr. Collier next located on a farm at the head of Osage Creek, and remained there until 1876, when he sold out with the intention of removing to Arizona, but changed his mind and decided to remain in Arkansas. He purchased the farm where he now resides, two and one-half miles from Green Forest. Here he located and has since resided. His home farm contains 240 acres, and he has a tract of eighty acres nearer Green Forest. There are about 150 acres under fence, with good improvements. On July 26, 1860, Mr. Collier wedded Tennessee Sisco, a native of Carroll County, and a daughter of Thomas
Sisco (deceased), who removed from [p.1052] Tennessee to Arkansas about 1835. In 1861 Mr. Collier enlisted in the Confederate army, and served until the close of the war, participating in the battles of Oak
Hill, Prairie Grove, and several skirmishes. While mustering before
the war he served as second lieutenant. Politically he is a Democrat. Both he and wife are consistent Christians. She is a member of the Free-Will Baptist Church, and he of the Methodist Church. They have
eleven children living, viz.: Mary (Mrs. Abe Walker), Thomas S., Nancy E. (Mrs. Mat Dooling), William A., Benjamin F., Edward L., Alexander, John H., Araminta J., Melissa and Mellie.
