  • Notes 
    • Wm. McCollam
      William McCollam was born January 17th, 1871, at Mediapolis, Iowa. He came to Nebraska with his parents in 1897, and was married to Eliza Hill of Arapahoe, Nebraska, on April 4, 1906. He passed away at the home in Gosper county, Nebraska, January 11, 1933, being nearly 62 years of age.
      To this union were born ten children, five boys and five girls, as follows: Donald of Wauneta, Neb., Mrs. Mabel Randolph of Arapahoe, Clifford, Orville, Fern, Fay, Owen, Wayne, Elizabeth and Velma, at home. Besides his wife and children, he leaves one brother, John of Gosper county; fours sisters, Mrs. Sarah Watson of Littleton, Colorado, Mrs. Maggie weaver, Goshen, Indiana, Mrs. Cassie Hawkins, Trenton, Nebraska; and Mrs. Elvira Price of Paoli, Kansas; and one grandchild, Donald McCollam.
      His father, mother and one brother, Hugh, have preceded him to the Great Beyond.
      A precious one from us has gone,
      A voice we loved is stilled:
      A place is vacant in our home
      Which never can be filled.
