"This was a farm belonging to Jerry Collins. His son fell into the well being dug for their
new home. A few months later others were buried there."

Maybe this is the stone for the boy that fell in the well.
Driving Directions: from Okeene, 3 miles east, 1 1/2 miles north on the right hand side of the road.
This could be his sister that died that same year.
This was the only stone with a Collins man and wife; but it says 'Joseph', not 'Jerry'.
Stone says:
"On a late fall afternoon in 1903, a stranger with a new wagon, fine team and money (something
the local people had little of) arrived at the store in Craig located in the NW/4 of Section 24, T19N R10W.
He wore nice, but foreign clothes, and spoke of a friend he was to meet. Less than a week later,
the stranger was gone.
"The original plot was once an acre donated by Orion K. Murrell."
