Death Summons Comes to Mrs. J . M. Collins
Hosts of friends were saddened by the death of Mrs. Amanda Collins, aged 77, wife of Mr. J . M. Collins, Butts county Surveyor, which occurred at her home on the Jackson Griffin highway Saturday night at 10 o'clock. Death came suddenly and was attributed to heart trouble. Previous to the fatal attack she had been attending to her usual work.
Mrs. Collins was one of the county's most beloved residents. Previous to her marriage she was Miss Amanda Benton, of Monroe county, member of an old family of this section. She was a gentlewoman of great charm and possessed friends by the score. She had been a member of Towaliga Baptist church for sixty-one years, being loyal and faithful to her church vows. She presided over a hospitable home with tact and grace and was never happier than when rendering a service to others.
Mrs. Collins is survived by her husband, Butts county's veteran and beloved surveyor; two sons, J . Walter Collins, of Macon, and Prof. Thomas J . Collins, teacher in Tech High School, Atlanta; two brothers, Messrs. T. H. and Henry Benton, of Locust Grove; two sisters, Mrs. T. H. Teel, of Oklahoma, and Mrs. Jim Ivey, of Texas. She is also survived by several grandchildren. A daughter, Mrs. Willie Mae McElhenney, died several years ago.
Funeral services were held at Fellowship Presbyterian church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. C. C. Heard officiating. The minister paid lofty tribute to the life and character of this esteemed woman. Relatives and friends sent lovely floral offerings as a token of their esteem. The pallbearers, selected from the grandsons and nephews, were: Gordon Morris, Clarence Morris, Frank McElhenney, Olin McElhenney.
