Title- Henry Coller Is Called By Death

Subtitle- Aged Resident Of This City Passed Away After Short Illness With A 
Complication Of Diseases--Five Children Survive The Deceased

Article- Henry Coller died at his home at 251 South Prospect street on Thursday 
evening at eight-thirty after a short illness with a complication of diseases. 
He was taken suddenly ill last Friday afternoon and his condition had been 
serious since that time. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at two 
o'clock at the house. The Odd Fellows will have charge of the services. 

Henry Coller was one of a family of fourteen children and was the son of Jacob 
and Lydia Coller being born in Ashland County. Had he lived until next 
September he would have been seventy-seven years old. When a young man he came 
to Bowling Green and at the time of his death had resided here for forty-four 
years. He conducted a grocery store in this city for many years and later took 
up farming and gardening. When his home on Wooster street was purchased for the 
Normal site he moved to South Prospect street. 

His wife, nee Mary Anne Smith, proceeded him to the grave by two years after 
they had been married for nearly fifty years. One son, Claude of Toledo, passed 
away three years ago. Eleven brothers and sisters have also proceeded the 
deceased to the grave. He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge for thirty-five 
years. He was a kind and loving father and will be greatly missed by his many 
friends in the community. 

Surviving are five children: Mrs Josephine Thomas, at home; Arthur and Herbert 
Coller of this city; Wallace Coller and Mrs Minnie Davis of Toledo. One 
brother, Daniel Coller, of this city, and one sister, Mrs Caroline Weatherholt, 
of Toledo also survive him.

Mr Coller was one of the instruments through which the city was built up. In 
1872 he built the Coen Bros. store-room which was recently burnt down, and 
conducted a grocery there until 1881, when he moved on his farm known as the 
Elder farm two miles southeast of Bowling Green. Upon returning to this city in 
1887, he built the store-room now occupied by Munn & McCrory grocers; and in 
1889 he and Attorney  J. C. H. Elder built the brick block on South Main Street 
north of the Church of Christ, and now Henry Apel's garage. He also erected the 
building occupied now by F. E. Smith, monument dealer; and also built several 
residences in the city.
