CROCKETT WEEKLY COURIER January 29, 1892 W. P. Collins
Even before the community had recovered from the shock of Captain J. H. Wootters' death, another of our most esteemed citizens passed away from among us. William Pritchard Collins died of typhoid fever at the house of his brother-in-law, F. G. Edmiston on Sunday, January 24, at 6 a.m. To his grief-stricken wife and to his sorrowing friends we tender our sympathy. The deceased, who was born and raised here, was about thirty-five at the time of death. Ten years ago he was married to Miss Virginia Smith. About the same time he untied with the Baptist Church. By occupation a farmer, his life was active. We can only say that another loss has been sustained by Crockett and its people which is an will be felt keenly. May the name and memory of Will Collins remain with us fresh and green.
