My grandfather, whom i never met. He died (flu) when my father was only 4 years old.


Memories of Joseph Walter Collins written by his son Hubert

written by Hubert W. Collins in 1971 - Joseph Walter Collins, my father, died of pneumonia at the age of 37 in February 1897. He was of medium height and slender build. His features were distinctly Irish, like those of the remaining members of the family. His complexion was light and his hair was auburn. He never wore either a mustache or a beard. He always brushed back his forelock rather abruptly to accentuate the height of his forehead.

The year before he passed away he suffered an accident at the shingle mill that severed his right index finger. One of my most distinct early recollections was seeing him as he walked slowly toward home with a tourniquet above the injured hand and accompanied by a companion.

Following this accident, in the day before automobiles, a considerable interval of time elapsed before my father and his companion could reach the office of Dr. Brittain S. Utley in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

In traveling one often notes someone who bears a striking personal resemblance to a member of one's family or a close friend. In March 1944 Major General Dabney Elliot, Chief Engineer, ETOUSA, made an inspection of my regiment in Bizerte, Tunisia. That evening, following the inspection, I was invited to a dinner at the Quarters of the Commanding General of Eastern Base Section, given in honor of General Elliot. I had noted when he inspected my regiment a striking resemblance to my father. Even his voice reminded me of the voice of my father.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Walter by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Walter:
