COLLINS A native son of the Golden West, Doctor Collins was born at Visalia, Tulare County, July 7, 1874. His father, Francis L. Collins, was born in Alabama, and when fourteen vears of age came around the Horn in 1853, nearly starving to death on the trip. He landed at Port Hartford, and became a pioneer cattle man, driving cattle through the valley to Stockton to supply meat for the mining district. The father of Francis L. Collins was an old school allopathic doctor, and a brother of Francis L. is a physician living at Kansas City, Missouri. The mother of Dr. Francis T. Collins was Mary J. (Peyton) Collins, a native of Missouri, and a descendant of the Peytons and Randolphs of Virginia. >From Missouri she went to Texas with her parents, and came over the plains by ox team to California when she was fourteen years of age. She is now eighty-eight and living at Fresno. Dr. Francis T. Collins attended public schools in Visalia, completing his work there in 1891. Following that came a series of experiences in occupations and for some years he was a steam engineer. Finally he entered the Pacific College of Osteopathy in Los Angeles, and was graduated with the D. 0. degree in the class of 1913. He has since taken several post-graduate courses. For a year and a half he remained in Los Angeles practicing his profession, and for two, years practiced at his home town of Visalia. Since then he has been located in San Francisco, and has made a notable reputation in therapeutics and osteopathy. On October 24, 1901, Doctor Collins married Miss Georgia H. Howe. As a younger man Doctor Collins was a member of Company H of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the National Guard of California. During the strikes of 1894 he saw twenty-nine days of active service. He and Mrs. Collins have one son, Warren F. Collins, now attending the University Preparatory School and planning also to take up the profession of osteopathy.
