Fred L. Collie was born on June 29, 1868 in Kentucky to parents James Holloway Collie (1839-1917) and Mary L. Aston Collie (1841-1869). Family tree records indicate that he was the only surviving child of their union; these records show that his mother perished the year after his birth, and his father remarried to Sarah Ellen Cathey (1842-1917), a union which produced four half-sisters for Fred -- Mary Isabelle (Hamilton), Ora Ader (Bowling), Cora Ida (Moody), and Phoebe Katherine (Campbell). His family came to Arkansas from Marshall County, Kentucky in 1879 and settled in Scotland, Arkansas (Van Buren County).

Fred married Julia An Garrison (linked below) on February 6, 1906, and their union produced three surviving sons: Theodore Roosevelt, James Herschel, and Arlie F. Collie (all linked below). Fred and Julia settled in the area around Saint Joe, Arkansas (Searcy County), but also lived in Marion and Van Buren counties.

Son James Herschel contracted polio as a child, and although he survived, he was disabled and lived with his parents his entire life. Fred's other sons Theo and Arlie were drafted in World War II; Theo worked as a cook in the Army and was never deployed overseas, but Arlie perished in the war during the first phase of the Bougainville campaign in the Pacific. Fred passed away a few years after this in 1950, one day after his 82nd birthday, and is interred at Freck Cemetery, where his widow and sons Herschel and Theo would also lie in rest. Fred's sons never produced any children.
