NOTE: The memorial for Earl Wayne Collins #5439914 that is linked to this memorial using HTML coding (above) was "NOT" the son of Henry William and Etta Ovid (Gillium) Collins. Etta would have only been 8 years old at the time Earl was born!! I have multiple sources that show Earl Wayne Collins "AS" the son of John Lancaster Collins and Barbara Elizabeth (Branscomb) Collins.
Several family trees on rootsweb show Earl Wayne Collins b. June 20, 1884 & died Nov. 8, 1964 as the son of John Lancaster and Barbara Elizabeth (Branscomb) Collins.
Putnam county, MO. census records and a published Collins family genealogy also show Earl as belonging to this family!
