(Robert) Uncle Bob Collier Called at Age of 81 With sorrow and regret friends
and relatives this week are mourning over passing of Uncle Robert Collier who
crossed the barrier around 5:30 o'clock Monday evening, May 16th 1938 after a
brief illness. He was eighty - one years and one day old. Rob Collier was born
and reared within the circling hills of Letcher County and was a son of the late
Wm. D. Collier, pioneer settler of this county. In early manhood he married Miss
Martha Yonts, daughter of Solomon Yonts, a sister of Bill Yonts who resides on
Goose Creek (Letcher Co KY). His wife preceded him in death about ten years ago. To this union
was born eleven children, of whom all are still living, seven sons and four
daughters. The sons are Henderson and James of Greenup, Ky, Willis of Neon: Paul
of Cincinnati: Sheridan of Pound, Va: and Sod and William who live in the Ozark
Mountains in Arkansas. The daughters are Mrs. Holly Yonts and Mrs. Quiller Yonts
of Neon: Mrs. Pauline Riggs of Covington, Ky: and Mrs. Rebecca Sizemore of
Columbus, Ohio. All the children except three were present at the time of his
death. Mr. Collier is also survived by four brothers and one sisters. They are
W.B., W.K., and S.P. of Neon: W.D. Collier of Kermit, W. Va. And Mrs. W.B. Reedy
of Logan, W. Va. For several years Mr. Collier had made his home with his sons
in Greenup County coming to Neon only recently to live with his daughter.
Funeral services were conducted by Revs. T. P. Johnson and Roy Hall at the home
of Mrs. Quiller Yonts. Funeral arrangements were in charge of the new Johnson
Funeral Home and the body was laid to rest by the side of his father in the
Huston Cemetery on Goose Creek. We extend sympathies to the bereaved relatives
and friends.
