DIED OF HER INJURIES.
MRS. LEMON COLLINS OF JACKSON TOWNSHIP DIED MONDAY NIGHT.
Three weeks ago today Mrs. Lemon Collins of Jackson township suffered serious injuries by being thrown from a buggy at North Judson, her horse taking fright at an engine as she attempted to drive across the network of tracks there. She was thrown against a telegraph pole and injured internally, in addition to many severe bruises. After being removed to her home Mrs. Collins appeared to be slowly improving up to Monday evening, although still quite sick.
Monday night Mr. Collins went to the barn about 9 o'clock to care for a sick horse. On his return to the house Mrs. Collins told him to lie down, as she was feeling better. He did so, but in a short time she called him again and informed him that she thought she was dying. Word was quickly sent to the home of her brother, William Dunkelberger, a half mile away, and he barely had time to get to the Collins home before she died.
Mrs. Collins was about forty-two years of age and was born and raised in this county. She was a most estimable woman and the neighbors all unite in saying that the Collins family was one of the most congenial and affectionate in the vicinity. She leaves five children--two married, a daughter about grown, one but seven or eight years old and a little son of two or three.
The funeral is in progress as the Democrats are being mailed. Burial will be in the old Hepner cemetery in Jackson township. The bereaved husband and family have the earnest sympathy of a large circle of neighbors and friends.
