    DANIEL M. COLLINS, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Bullock County, Ala., was
born in February, 1848, in the county where he now resides. His parents were
Charles B. and Elvira (Culpepper) Collins, who came from Georgia.

    Daniel M. Collins received his education at the common schools of Bullock
County. After leaving school he went to Montgomery, Ala., where he read law in
the office of Governor Watts and Col. Daniel S. Troy, and in 1873, was admitted
to the bar. He did not engage in the practice of the law, but taught school and
farmed until 1886. In 1884 he was Justice of the Peace, and two years later was
elected Circuit Court Clerk, and is still filling the position with credit to
himself and to the interest of his county.

    Mr. Collins was married in 1875 to Miss Sarah E., daughter of Oliver and
Martha (Martin) Powell, of Dallas County, Ala., and to them three children have
been born: Bertie, Charles M. and Robert Lee.
