Married twice; Mr. DeLong and Mr. Collins.
The remains of Mrs. Sarah Beebe Collins, who died in North western Missouri, early the previous week, were brought here for interment Friday night, and her funeral was held in the Methodist church on Saturday forenoon. When her brother got to her late residence, owing to a delay of letters and trains, a funeral and burial had taken place, but complying with her request, her body was taken up, brought here and laid beside her mother's which was buried here almost eighteen years ago.
Mrs. Collins had been twice married, and left, besides a husband and his two children, three of her own, ranging in age from nine to thirteen years, and who will find homes with her friends about here.
Mrs. Collins was a fine Christian woman and although she had experienced trouble in her early married life, in the loss of her husband, yet she bore her trials with Christian grace and fortitude.
The friends here cordially extend thanks to the people who so kindly lent their aid and assistance in this their sad hour of affliction.
