Anyone know how Susan (Collins) Dowe fits into the second obit for John
William Collins Jr.¹s obit?
Susan isn¹t mentioned in his wife¹s obit.
As Jr. doesn¹t mention a surviving wife, Clara Bessie Hicks, and Clara
doesn¹t mention a predeceased hubby, John William Collins, Jr., perhaps
there¹s a separation here somewhere with Susan being by someone else?
Thanks.
Dave
