FRANK FLETCHER COLLINS

  The fellowship that is Epworth-Euclid Church was profoundly shocked by the 
sudden passing of Frank Fletcher Collins, at his home, 1861 E. 90th Street, 
Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday evening, Jan. 28, 1941, following a violent attack 
of coronary thrombosis on that afternoon.  It seemed almost unbelievable to 
those who saw him in such good spirits on the previous Sunday morning at his 
post of faithful duty as the head of the hospitality committee.  Mr. Collins 
loved the Church of Christ with deepest devotion and to it he gave fully of his 
strength to the last.
  Mr. Collins joined Epworth-Euclid Church along with Mrs. Collins and their two 
daughters, in October 1930, coming from the First Methodist Church of Beaver, 
Pa.  Soon thereafter he was made a member of the Official Board and before long 
was made chairman of the hospitality committee in which capacity he was serving 
at the time of his passing.
  Besides his wife, the former Margaret Byrer, and two daughters, Mrs. Alfred R. 
Rauch, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Lorne W. Knister, of Detroit, Mr. Collins is 
survived by a sister, Mrs. Homer P. Hartley, of Beaver, Pa., and a brother, 
George W. Collins, of Altoona, formerly of Meyersdale.
  The Rev. Clarence E. Hall officiated at services Thursday evening at the J. D. 
Deutsch funeral home, 1486 Crawford Road.
  Frank F. Collins was a native of Meyersdale, the son of the late Johnson 
Collins, a pioneer merchant of Meyersdale.
