COLLINS, J. M. Was born in Indiana. When he was but a child his parents moved to Clay County, Missouri, and
settled on a farm. In 1853 the subject of this sketch came across the plains to California, and arrived in El Dorado
County in August. Here he engaged in mining until the spring of 1860, when he went to Suisun, Solano County, where
he resided until the fall of 1863, when he came to Lake County. Here he bought what is now known as the Howard
Springs property, where he resided one year. We next find Mr. Collins engaged in farming near Lower Lake, where
he remained until the fall of 1868, when he settled on his present place, consisting of two hundred and one acres,
located about one mile west from Middletown. He married March 19, 1865, Miss Lizzie Farmer, a native of Missouri.
By this union they have eight children, William M., Edward, Robert, Annie, Emma, Augustus, Eldorado, and Gracie.
