Morris Herald, Fri, Nov 11, 1910
Joshua E Collins was married to Miss Emma E Cryder, eldest daughter of Mr & 
Mrs Israel Cryder, Nov 18, 1884, by Rev AH Kistler, and it is safe to say that 
it is rare a young married couple start out on life's journey with such bright 
prospects as were theirs. Then he was strong, rugged and the very picture of 
health. But, alas! how sudden life's changes! Words fail to express the grief 
of his young wife, of little Mable, aged 6, and baby Clifford, aged 2 years. 
And where is the balm for the sore heart of his aged mother who remained with 
her boy until the spirit took its flight, or who can describe the sorrow of 
his sisters, Mrs JA Wilson and Mrs Storey Matteson and his brother, Cryder? He 
was a dutiful son, a good husband and father, a kind and noble young man. His 
reward is in Heaven. The funeral took place from his late home Tuesday at 1 
o'clock, Rev AH Laing officiating. Interment took place in Aux Sable cemetery.
