JAMES COLLINS DEAD.
An Oklahoma Pioneer Passes Away
Buried at Cheek.

Southern Oklahoma will regret to
learn the sad news of the death of
James Pinkney Collins, which occurr-
ed at his late home at Cheek in this
county at 4:20 Saturday afternoon,
February %. Mr. Collins had been
in failing health for several months,
He took treatment from the hes.
skilled physicians but there seemed
to be nothing that could restore him
to health and he gradually sank and
passed quietly away at the hour
named.
Mr.. Collins was born January %,
1915, in ldyll coanty North Caroline,
he enlisted in the Confederate ser
vice in 1862 and was member of
Company |, 10th North Carolina reg
iment. He was with one of the
hardest fighting regiments in the civil
war and took part in many of the
hard fought battles. He was loyal to
the southern cause and was n mem
Der of John II. Morgan camp at Ard
more.
| Following the war Mr. Collins
moved to Washington county, Texas,
and resided for time. Thirty three
years ago he moved from Texas to
Atoka in the Choctaw nation and five
years after that moved with his
family to Cheek in Carter county,
where he resided until the time of
his death He belonged to that class
of open hearted frontiersmen whose
home was always open TO his friends
and never a stranger was turned
away without something to eat or n
place to sleep.
He is survived by his widow and
the following children: Mrs. Flor
ence Stanhope of Paoli, James Col
Inns, George Collins, Mrs. Lloyd Han
way, and Babe Collins. All the chill
dren except Mrs. Staahcrc made their
homes in or near Cheek.
Hence Collins, a brother of the
deceased, who resides at Troutman,
n. c., has been notified and is ex-
rected to arrive here.
The funeral was held at Cheek
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. A
large concourse of people attended
the last ceremonies. Among those
present We're friends of the family
Carter and Love counties.
The loss of Mr.. Collins will be
keerly felt in his county He was
always progressive in his ideas and
was leader in his community.
