Yes, the prior statement by Cherie was true:
Probably the son of John C. and Amelia Elizabeth (Babbitt) Collins? Findagrave member Cherie Officer has found a short funeral notice in The Olean (NY) EVening Herald, Feb. 14,1923 Page 6. The funeral was held at his home in Weston's Mills, NY on Feb. 13, 1923.

John E was 18 years old when he died of Pneumonia. I find no wife or children, he was very young.
