MOTHER AND SON BURIED YESTERDAY In the peaceful twilight Saturday evening just as the sun was sinking to rest two caskets were lowered into the earth's bosom at Oak Hill cemetery. In ne there rested all that was mortal of a devoted mother and her infant son whom death had claimed with a few days of each other and in the second casket lay the remains of the infant boy's frandmother, while among the mourners who clustered around the newly made graves was Frank Collins of Fort Worth, Texas, whose mother, wife and sone were being laid in their final resting place. Mrs. Delia Collins for many years a resident of this city, and mother of Frank and Warren Collins, at one time prominent music dealers of this city, died at Fort Worth, Texas four and one half years ago. One year later Mrs. Mattie Cleland Colins, wife of Frank H. Collins and beloved in this city, which was her former home, also died at Fort Worth, following closely her infant son, James Cleland Collins. The remains wer temporarily interred at Fort Worth and Saturday evening they were brought to this city by the bereaved son, husband and father. The caskets were taken directly to Oak Hill cemetery where a brief service ws conducted by the Presbyterian church, in the presence of a small company of sorrowing relatives and friends. The service wa an impressive one, the beauty of the early evening surroundin the scene with a quiet and comforting peacefullness. The Janesville Daily Gazette, Monday, July 1, 1901.
