End of obit
Richard B. Collins was first married to a Margaret Vanarsdall, my Great Aunt. They were the parents of one son, Samuel. Samuel attended the Keokuk College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Samuel Collins is buried in the Montrose Cemetery, Montrose, Lee Co., Iowa.
I don't know the parents of Thankful but do know she was from Nauvoo, Illinois.
I hope this is of some help to you.
