She was quite advanced in years and when she became ill with rheumatism a few weeks ago she did not have the strength to withstand the attack of the disease and she gradually grew weaker until death ended her sufferings. The funeral was held Monday morning. Services were conducted at the Catholic church, Rev. Father Kelly officiating. The remains were laid to rest in St. John's cemetery at Emmetsburg where her father and her mother are buried. Many friends and old acquaintances were in attendance at the funeral. The pall bearers were: E. A. Baumgartner, Jacob Prick, John Graettinger, B. R. Graettinger, John J. Mahan and P. J. McCarty. Elizabeth E. Collins was born at Downeyville, Victoria county, Ontario, Canada, August 9, 1835. In November, 1865, the Collins family moved to Iowa and settled at Ossian. In 1870 they moved to Palo Alto county and settled on a farm in Silver Lake township. After the death of her parents Miss Collins resided at Emmetsburg for a number of years and came to Graettinger with her brother, the Late, T. D. Collins, about twenty-five years ago. She is survived by two brothers and one sister. The sister is Mrs. LeHane of San Francisco and the brothers are James of Duluth and D. E. Collins of California. The deceased was one of the pioneer women of our community and our county. She was a resident of Palo Alto for over half a century and during that time she formed a wide acquaintanceship and many will learn with sorrow of her passing away. She was bright and intelligent and was well posted on current events. She had a remarkable memory and would frequently recall in detail events of importance of sixty and seventy years ago. She was charitable and kind hearted and was generous to the needy. Humble homes that were visited by sickness or saddened by death were invariably visited by her and she was ever ready to assist and to comfort those to whom Providence had been unkind. She always had a cheery greeting and a good word for her friends and acquaintances and she was among the first to rejoice in the success and distinction accorded them in their various walks of life. She was one of the early residents of our county and she was spared to a ripe old age to witness its development and progress to which she contributed materially during the years of her health and strength. To the surviving relatives the Times extends sincere sympathy.
