Biography
Arnold was born in 1829. He passed away in 1911.
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 70, No 22, p 702, May 29, 1911.
At the home of his daughter, Mrs. Truman G. Burdick, in the town of Alfred, N. Y., May 8, 1911, Mr. Arnold W. Collins, aged 81 years, 11 months and 11 days.
Brother Collins was the second son of Stephen and Sally Collins, who were among the early settlers in Alfred. Having been born in Alfred and passed his days there, the town has suffered the loss of another life linking the present with the past and its precious memories and inheritances.
On November 19, 1853, he was married to Sarah M. Saunders, who passed away October 17, 1889. To them were born eight children: Uberto J., Murray E., and Herbert E., who preceded their father to the spirit-land, and Walter A. of Battle Creek, Mich., Marie A. Beech of East Rochester, Mrs. Truman G. Burdick of Alfred, Melvin S. of Allentown, and C. Roscoe of Belfast, who remain to mourn the departure of a kind father. He was respected as an upright and industrious man, but it was in his home that the strength and beauty of his life were best known.
He was baptized and joined the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred in 1870, and remained in the fellowship of this church till called to join the church triumphant.
Farewell services, conducted by Pastor William L. Burdick, were held at the home, May 11, when a large company gathered to pay respect to a lifelong neighbor and friend, and interment took place in the Alfred Rural Cemetery.
