- Grand Forks Herald, January 4, 1898 DEATH CALLED HIM
Michael Collins, an Old and Honored Citizen, Died
Yesterday Michael Collins, whose death has been almost
expected at any moment for some time past, died shortly
after 5 o'clock yesterday morning. Most of the members
of his family were present as he has been slowly, but
surely sinking for several days. Mr. Collins was born in
County Clare, Ireland, in September, 1822, and was,
therefore, 75 years of age. In 1842 he emigrated to
Canada, where he lived until 1870. In the fall of that
year he moved to Sauk Center, Minn., and lived there
until 1882, when he came to Grand Forks. Mr. Collins was
married in early life, and his wife survives him. They
were the parents of thirteen children, ten sons and
three daughters, of whom five are now living. These are
Stephen Collins, the well known machinery dealer of this
city, James, deputy sheriff of Grand Forks county,
William of Bottineau, Frank of Willow City, and Mrs.
Peter Burns of Nelson county. Mr. Collins has been an
industrious, frugal and temperate man, and the good
habits of his early years placed him in such financial
circumstances that his closing days were passed free
from care, and his kindly, genial disposition kept him
in touch with the active affairs and the brighter side
of life until his spirit was called away. The funeral
will be held on Saturday, forenoon, the procession
leaving the house at 9:45 for St. Michael's church,
where, services will begin at 10 o'clock..
