Posted on: Cedar Co., Mo Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Cedar/893 Surname: COLLINS, DILLAMON, HIGMAN ------------------------- I am seeking information on some former residents of Cedar County Missouri. Mrs. Lillian (Collins) Dillamon 1875-1957 Buried in the Younger Cemetery. Mr. Charlie Higman Mr. J. H. ( Jesse Herbert) Collins. Mr. Collins attended the Springfield Teachers College in Springfield Mo and was Captain of the Track Squad in 1922. His nickname was "Speedy" due to his exceptional records in track and was also know as the "King of the dashes" After graduation he taught physical education and was the assistant coach in football and basketball at the Springfield Teachers College. I would appreciate any information anyone would have on these three.

"Speedy" Collins taught my father at SMS in the Physical Education Dept. and he was my swimming teacher the summer of 1956 there at the Lab School. My dad could have told you a lot about Speedy. I was only 11 years old when he was my instructor, but I dearly loved him as did all the other kids. He had great patience with all of us youngsters! (My older sister may have had him for a teacher also--I'm not sure.) Kay Wilson Zimmer ----- Original Message ----- From: S.
