| 1982 | Obituary: MRS. P. A. E. COLLINS One of Bryan's Most Sainted Christian Characters Entered Into Rest. Mrs. P. A. E. Collins, widow of the late Thomas Benton Collins, died at her home in this city Monday afternoon at 1:15 o'clock, February 9, 1914, brief mention of which was made in The Eagle on the afternoon of her demise. Mrs. Collins had been ill for several months, and critically ill for some days. Her death was not unexpected, though being forewarned did not lighten the blow, nor make less keen the grief of those who were near and dear to her. Mrs. Collins was Mrs. Jennie McCulloch, and was born in Marshall County, Mississippi, November 20, 1847, making her in her sixty-seventh year at the time of her death. She came to Texas with her parents in 1856 when but a small girl, the family settling in this county, and she has resided here continuously since. Her residence in the county was more than half a century in duration, during which time she witnessed the remarkable changes occurring in this county, and saw the wilderness made to bloom and blossom as the rose. In 1878 she united with the First Methodist Church of this city, and from that day until the day of her death she exemplified in her daily walk and conversation the teachings of the Savior she followed and trusted. A sweeter Christian mother never lived in the county and her whole life was filled with charitable deeds and tender ministerings to others. Now that she rests from her labors, not only her children, but hundreds of others, rise up and call her blessed. Mrs. Collins was twice married, her first marriage being to Mr. Wiley Reed of this county, November 20, 1866. To them were born four children, two of whom are living, Mrs. Claude Mitchell of Hull, Texas, and Steve Reed of Palestine. After her first husband's death she remained a widow for several years, and in 1880 was married to the late Thomas Benton Collins, who has been dead for several years. Two children survive by this union, Miss Erma Collins and John Collins of this city. The bereaved children and other relatives have the profound sympathy of all in their great bereavement. The funeral was held from her late home at 2 o'clock this afternoon with interment following at Boonville cemetery. Her pastor, Rev. Glenn Flinn, conducted the funeral services. Many beautiful floral tributes from loving friends at home and elsewhere told in language more beautiful than words of the great love and tender affection in which she was held.

Crowder when she was 16 and married at 17 in July of 1955. She traveled with Charles in the Airforce, and their first child Randy was born in 1959. In 1962, second child Marty was born, and in1963 another son, Danny. Over the years, Jean and her family lived in Kentucky, California, Arizona, & Texas. She enjoyed raising her sons, they were her priority. She loved to sing, which she was great at. She was very active in bowling prior to her illness, loved the sport and her teammates! Jean helped Charles run their own business, mainly service stations in Kentucky. After selling the business and retiring, they traveled some and moved to Texas to be with their sons and grandchildren. Shortly afterwards Jean started working at Wal-Mart in Navasota.
