One of the largest crowds see in at Bacon Chapel was in attendance Sunday evening at the funeral of our friend and their friend, Branson S. Collins. They came from far and near Montana, Michigan, Moberly, Hannibal, Monroe City, Shelbina, Clarence and probably many other places.
Paul Collins and brother, Bob Seth, of Benton Harbor, Michigan, and who were called here by the death of their father, B.S. Collins, left for their home Monday morning.
The end of seven long years of suffering finally came to our good friend, Branson S. Collins, who for most of his life had lived in this vicinity. He was taken with the palsy just about seven years ago, and while not suffering severe pain all those years, he was confirmed to the house most of the time and from his usual occupation of farming all the time.
Branson S. Collins (better known as Bant) was born in Sussex County, Delware April 14, 1861, and died on June 27 at his home four and a half miles northwest of Lentner, being just part 79 years old. He came with his parents to Missouri while a small child, and with the exception of a few years spent in the west he has spent his entire life in Shelby County. Soon after becoming of age, (haven't the exact date) he was married to Miss Gertrude Hayfer, who with four children survive, Mrs. Grover Garrison of Great Falls, Montana, Mrs. A.B. Capps of Lentner, Paul and Bob Seth of Michigan, all of whom was present at the funeral.
Funeral services were deferred until Sunday evening awaiting the arrival of the absent children. The services were conducted at Bacon Chapel Sunday evening at 2:30 p.m. by the Rev. O.P. Grobe of Shelbina Baptist Church. The deceased was converted and joined the Baptist Church in Walkersville in his young manhood and has ever lived a staunch member and helper of his chosen creed.
He was a farmer by occupation and a good one and owned and lived on the present farm where he died for many years. Beside his wife and four children he leaves one brother, Harrison Collins of 400 South 4th Street in Moberly, and a large number of other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his departure. A faithful and true husband and a kind indulgent father, an accommodating neighbor and a good citizen and a thoroughly Christian man. What more could be said of the worth of any man? His life was an open book, he hid nothing from his family or friends and his memory will be cherished by all who remain to await their call to go and join him in the great beyond.
