From the Westford Wardsman, 27 Sept. 1913
Phineas G. Collins, a long-time resident of the town, died at his home on the Carlisle road, Parkerville, Monday at the age of seventy-six years. He is survived by a wife, one son, Albert Collins, of New York, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles M. Griffin, of Westford, and several grandchildren. He was a former resident of Ayer, but about thirty years ago he moved to Westford onto the present farm, where he has since resided. He was a veteran of the civil war and loyal to the principles of Memorial day exercises. Only a few brief years ago, his youngest son, Lieut. Frederick Collins, died in the Philippine Islands and buried with military honors in Fairview cemetery. Mr. Collins was a pronounced anti-saloon man and voted it and lived it.
