In 1856 the Shenkle/Shinkle family started westward and arrived at Edenville, now Rhodes, Marshall county, Iowa, where they remained for a time. In Story County Mr. Shenkle purchased a tract of raw prairie land which he broke, erecting a log cabin to which he removed his family. His farm consisted of 200 acres, of which 80 acres was timber. The first election for organizing the township was held at Mr. Shenkle's home. The township was named Collins in honor of a township in New York state, from which one of the nearest neighbors of Mr. Shenkle came. Mr. Shenkle was active in the councils of the democratic party and was first clerk of the township, holding that position until his death. Mrs. Shenkle continued on the home farm until after her many children were grown up, and then she made her home with her son William, until being called to her reward.
