STEPHEN A. COLLINS
The subject of these lines, who
is engaged in farming in Section 18, Bartlow township, Henry
county, and is also a dealer in agricultural implements at
Hamler, is an important factor in business circles, and his
popularity is well-deserved, as in him are embraced the
characteristics of an unbending integrity, unabated energy
and industry that never flags.
On a farm in Marion township, Henry county, Mr.
Collins
was born December 23, 1861, a son of MICHAEL and Bridget (Shehy)
Collins, early settlers of the county, where the father died
September 13, 1889. In their family were eight
children who reached manhood and womanhood - four sons and
four daughters - Stephen A. being fourth in the order of
birth. During his boyhood and youth he received a good
common-school education, and assisted his father in the
labors of the farm, remaining at home until October 1889,
when he married and located upon his present farm in Bartlow
township. He gave his attention exclusively to
agricultural pursuits until August 1896, when he formed a
partnership with Mr. Newton, and embarked in the
agricultural implement business. Carrying a
well-selected stock of goods, and being courteous in their
treatment of customers, they have secured a liberal share of
the public patronage. Although his business is in Hamler,
Mr. Collins still resides on his farm in Bartlow
township, where he owns one hundred and twenty acres of
valuable and well-improved land.
On October 10, 1889, in Holgate, Henry county, Mr.
Collins married Miss Tersia Stewart, a native of Putnam
county, Ohio, and a daughter of Newton Stewart of that
county. They have become the parents of two children,
namely: Jerry A. and Franklin S. Mr. Collins and
family are communicants of Catholic Church, while
politically he is identified with the Democratic party, in
the success of which he takes a deep interest.
