Biography

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 63, No 42, p 2081, Oct. 21, 1907.

Loren Collins died September 29, 1907, at his home in Alfred, N.Y. He was born in the town of Alfred, N. Y., Dec. 8, 1831, one of the six children of Stephen and Sally Cutler Collins, the father having come from Brookfield, and originally from Rhode Island.

Jan. 1, 1857, Loren was married to Sarah CrandaIl, who survives him. Two daughters, Mrs. Will Coates and Mrs. W. D. Gardiner, two brothers, Arnold and Joseph, and eleven grandchildren, are also living.

Mr. Collins was a veterinary surgeon during his active life and went over the hills far and near in response to the calls that came night and day. Like other physicians, he often went when he himself was not able to go; but he loved his work, the relief of suffering, and did not like to refuse. He was once constable of his town.

Some twenty-six years ago, his head was injured by a falling derrick. His mind gradually failed until about ten years ago he had to give up his practice.

Mr. Collins was a quiet man, a lover of justice and equity. Services were conducted at the house, Oct. 2, by Pastor Randolph, from the text, "But the greatest of these is love."
