Daughter of Peter & Mary Ann (Connolly/Conley) Collins. Kate married 11 Jan 1905, Clark Co., South Dakota, to Julian Kappes, according to another Family Search Tree that includes Kate and the other Kappes families. Kate appears on Julian's W.W.1 Draft Card was marked, Sept. 12, 1917/1918, Minot, Ward Co., North Dakota. Her residence is listed as Tolley, North Dakota.

Ward county was first organized on November 23, 1885 with Burlington as the county seat but was changed to Minot in 1888.

Until 1908, Ward County included what is now Burke, Renville and Mountrail counties; this landmass often being referred to as 'Imperial Ward' County and which was the largest county in the state at the time. In 1908, voters took up measures to partition the county. The results for that portion forming Mountrail County were accepted but a dispute over the results for the portions that would become Burke and Renville counties was taken to court and which resulted in favorable rulings in 1910. In addition, when the proposed county lines for Burke and Renville counties were drawn, neither group wanted to include Kenmare and risk that city becoming the county seat, so Kenmare was left in Ward County at the end of a narrow strip of land.
