DR. JOHN T. COLLIER.

    Dr. Collier is a native of Kentucky, being born in Bourbon County, in 1826.
His parents immigrated to Missouri, in 1828, and settled in Callaway County,
then a wild, unsettled country. There young Collier was raised, receiving such
education as the country afforded. He read medicine and attended lectures at the
University of Missouri in 1848-49, and, in the spring of 1849, he began the
practice of medicine, which he continued about twenty years in Missouri and
Nevada. He was married, in Missouri, May 26, 1854, to Miss Cassandra A. West. In
1864, Dr. Collier immigrated with his family, to California, where he lived
about a year, and, in 1865, he removed to Nevada. He lived in Nevada seven
years, practicing his profession and engaging profitably in the cattle business.
In 1871, he removed to Colorado and, locating near Pueblo, he at once embarked
in the sheep and wool growing business, which he has since continued with
eminent success, handling large flocks of the best sheep in the county. The
Doctor now has his home in South Pueblo, and few men in the county have more
friends than he. In politics he is strongly Democratic, and in religion is a
liberal thinker.
