Obituary: COLLINGS, Henry, Rocky Mountain News, Denver, Jan. 30, 1911, Page 2 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/denver/obits/c/collings_henry_1911.txt Transcribed and Contribted by: Rita Timm 2001 - 2002 ================================================= HENRY COLLINGS DIES Well Known in Mine Circles. Henry Collings, well known in mining circles throughout the West, but particularly in the Balck Hills district and in Colorado and Arizona, died at his residence 1418 Cherokoe Street, at 8 o'clock Saturday night from tuberculosis. Collings first came into wide prominence in mining circles through his connection with mines in the Black Hills district several years ago when trouble arose there with the Western Federation of Miners. He was compelled to bear a considerable burden of the conflict because of his position as superintendent of one of the large companies. He was in charge at various times of the Horseshoe and Golden Reward properties in that district and was at one time prominently connected with the Homestake Company, in which he was a stockholder at the time of his death. From the Black Hills district he went to Arizona, where he was associated in several important mining properties. He came to Denver seven years ago. He was born near Plymouth, England, forty-seven years ago and came to this country when he was a small boy. He is survived by his widow and two daughters, Adeline and Lillian. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but the body probably will be shipped to England for burial. =================================================== Contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archive Project (http://www.usgenweb.org) and by the COGenWeb Archive Project USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organization or persons.
