“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical, November 1958 Issue


CATHERINE E. COLLINS – Barbour / Geneva / Houston counties
	Sister Collins [Catherine Elizabeth Collins] was born in Barbour Co., Ala., on
Oct. 25, 1871, and died at Hartford, Ala., [Geneva Co.] on June 9, 1958, after a
long illness.  She was the daughter of Deacon [Church Deacon] and Mrs. J. W.
Bledsole of Bethlehem Church, Malvern, Ala.  She married Elder J. W. Collins in
June 1893 and shortly thereafter was baptized into the Mt. Gilead Primitive
Baptist Church [Dothan, Houston Co., Ala.].  For about 20 years, she had been a
member of Little Vine Church, so she had been a Primitive Baptist for nearly 65
years.  Her husband was pastor of Mt. Gilead for 35 years and moderator of the
Western Primitive Baptist Association at 23 sessions.
	She is survived by a son, Joshua W. Collins; a daughter, Mrs. Sarah Sammons;
several grandchildren, including Elder J. J. Collins; a nephew, Elder J. A. Tew,
who is pastor of Pilgrims Rest Church; and one brother, M. R. Bledsole of
Graceville, Fla.
	Funeral services were conducted at Little Vine Church on June 10, with Elder S.
J. B. Dallas in charge.  Interment was in Mt. Gilead Cemetery [situated astride
the Geneva-Houston County Line].  Truly, a mother in Israel has gone home to be
with the Lord. – J. J. Collins
