First Pastor of Grove Church.

Rev. Charles Jowett Collins, the
first pastor of the Grove Presbyterian
church in this city was buried in
Wilkes Barre yesterday. Representa-
tives of the Grove church attended the
funeral and his memory here was fur
ther honored last night by special ser
vices at the church to which he min
istered.
Rev Charles Jewett Collins, al.
though an able and Jealous divine, had
much longer career as teacher than
the Grove church was his first and
only pastorate. He was born in Wilkes
Barre in 1926. He graduated in Will
hams College, Massachusetts,, in 1S45.
He was tutor in Williams College for
some time, after which he entered the
theological seminary at Princeton,
graduating there in 1854
In 1885 he was made principal OF the
Wilkes-Barre Female Institute but re-
signed the year following to become
pastor Of the Grove Presbyterian
church of this city. He was ordained
here in 1856. His pastorate continued
until 1865 and was very fruitful.
There are still few in the Grove
church who we'll remember DR.. Col
lins after the lapse of forty years. One
of these, George NJ Gearhart, along
with Rev DR.. Mccormack, present
pastor, attended the funeral Yesterday
as representatives of Grove Presbyter-
ian church.
Leaving Danyille Rev. DR.. Collins
became principal of the preparatory
school at Princeton. where he re-
manned from 1874 to 1880. He was next
principal of the Bradford school for
boys at Rye, n. Y. In 1884 he resign
ed and from that time until his death
he lived i'll New York City, retired.
The remains were taken to Wilkes
Barre on Tuesday. The funeral took
place at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
in the First Presbyterian church. In
lieu of the regular prayer service in
the Grove church last night a memori-
al service was held in honor of the
dead pastor
