TRUMAN COLLINS, no dates available

   The Rev. E. Hall, of Orland, sends us the following 
statement in relation to Mr. Truman Collins, who died lately 
at the residence of Mr. Ziba Roberts, in Jackson township.
   Mr. Collins had suffered greatly for about six years past; 
yet he patiently awaited the end of pain, and daily prayed to 
be fitted for his departure.  He was not a member of any 
church, but was a believer in Christ as the only Savior.  He 
leaves six children---three sons and three daughters.  He had 
been a citizen of this county about twenty-five years.  His 
funeral was largely attended by his friends and neighbors.
