He married Frances Yegge on November 20, 1906 in Carroll, Iowa. They were the parents of Leo, Mabel, and Mary. Feb 1, 1928 - Carroll Times - Frank J. Collison, prominent and well known farmer of Carroll county, was found dead in bed Friday morning, January 27, 1928, at 11 o'clock, by his wife, who had been out of the room but a short time, while attending to some household duties. While he had felt indisposed on that morning and had not arisen, his condition was not alarming and his sudden death came as a distinct shock to his immediate family, his relatives and countless friends. The cause of death was angina pectoris. Two weeks before, he had been ill with an attack of ptomaine poisoning and had been a patient at the St. Anthony hospital. He had recovered sufficiently to return to his home and after his illness had been able to attend to business matters in Carroll and had also attended church the Sunday previous to his death. Mr. Colllson was the youngest of a family of nine children and was born in Ottowa, Illinois, February 22, 1863, the son of William and Ann Chappel Collison. At the age of 16 years he came to Carroll county and joined his brothers, Joe Collison and Fred A. Collison, Sr., who had come to Iowa a few years earlier. They located west of Carroll and became builders in that part of the country. Selecting the fertile rolling country for their home lands, they found it especially adapted for farming and stock raising and by their own achievements and honest dealings became well known throughout Iowa for their successful farm operations. Mr. Collison was married in Carroll November 20, 1906, to Miss Frances Yegge, who with the three children survive; Leo, who was assisting his father on the farm; Mabel, a senior at the St. Angela academy; and Mary, an eighth grade pupil of the St. Joseph school. Until a little over a year ago the home was on the old homestead, four and a half miles west of Carroll. A year ago in August, he purchased and moved to what is known as the Gilley farm, just west of Carroll, and had a beautiful home erected. Mr. Colllson lived a clean life and had such a strong character and personality that not only his family but the entire community suffers a loss in his death. He was a leader among men. Success came to him and he deserved it. It was the award of his honest efforts, hard work and keen business ability. Mr. Collison came from hardy English stock and was a man of an exceedingly refined nature. He enjoyed his fellow men and was a good mixer. His home and family meant much to him and he had many plans for the future. Mr. Collison was affiliated with the Catholic church in 1904 and lived a devout Catholic life, taking an active part in all the interests of the St. Joseph church to which he belonged. He was also one of the influential members of the Holy Name society. Besides his immediate family, he is survived by three brothers, Joe Collison and Fred A. Collison, Sr., of Carroll, and William Collison of Chicago. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. John Eads of Grand Ridge, Illinois. Preceding him in death were three sisters, and one brother; Mrs. August Staak of Carroll, Mrs. Hugh Morgan of Carroll, Mrs. John Higgins of Nebraska, and John Collison of Ottowa, Illinois. His mother died in Illinois and his father died in Carroll in 1904. Funeral services were held at the St. Joseph church Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. Monsigner Stephen Butler conducting the requiem high mass. The church was filled with sorrowing relatives and friends, who came to pay their last respects to a man of great honor. The pallbearers were Joe Schrad, William Staiert, John Murphy, James O'Herron, Jr., Hosea Heath, and Jake Kuker, Sr. Mrs. J.E. Waldron of Colorado Springs, Colo., a sister of Mrs. Collison, came to attend the funeral.
