Mrs. Henry Collins of Cherokee Ia., died last Thursday and was brought back to Hardin for burial Saturday. She was an old time resident of Hardin, where together with her husband and children were respected citizens. Henry was known as Walker Collins 40 odd years ago, and was a familiar figure in those days when Hardin was one of the towns of northern Iowa.

John and William Collins came down and buried the remains of heir mother in the Hardin cemetery. They are now visiting the scenes of their childhood home and calling on friends of other days.
