This article was from a newspaper in Troy, Obion County, Tn. and was sent to me by Mr. Ben Brewer. This is being posted here because Annis (Anna) lived here at one time. She appears on the 1840 census of Stewart co, Tn. with her husband Francis Collins b. March 11, 1791 S.C. Francis Collins died in 1844. OLDEST WOMAN IN AMERICA Mrs. Anna Collins of Troy, Tennessee Is in her 108th year. Mrs. Anna Collins of Troy, Tennessee is probably the oldest woman in the United States. She was born in Robertson County, Tennessee April 17, 1788 and is therefore in her 108th year. Her husband, Francis Collins, was born March 11, 1791 and came from South Carolina to West Tennessee. He was one of the most noted methodist evangelists that was ever in the south. It is said of him that in one of his revival meetings such enthusiasm was manifested that there were in two weeks 845 conversions and 456 accessions to the church. Five children were born to Francis and Anna Collins, two of whom are still living, the eldest being a man of three score and six years. She has used tobacco constantly for fifty-five years and is as strong today as most women at the age of 45. Does anyone know or connect Annis (Anna) Collins?

SIMON Ludwig Ernst;1908-1990;Frankfurt,DEU>CAN I have received some papers from my mother. They are papers that have some information about my father. A friend translated them for me. They read: Birth Certificate Registry office Frankfurt on the Main (lll) number of 609 (Ludwig) Ernst (Simon) was born on 17 June of 1908 in Frankfurt at the Main Father: Engineer William (Eberhard Simon) Mother: (Helmi Justine Dorothea), born (Tuhte), both Catholic, both resident in Frankfurt at the Main. In answer to your writing of the 26.05.53 we can confirm through still existing records the following information: Mister Ludwig Simon, born on 17.06.1908 in Frankfurt at the Main worked as a mechanical engineering-apprentice at the IG Farbenindustrie in Bitterfeld from March of 1924 until September of 1926. Today as in the past, the students of the engineering school (Mittweida) were required to work during the semester vacations, in the above named business the practical work was also performed during the semester-vacations in the summers of 1927 and 1928. Last part of the paper reads: Transcription of the final examination-report card School of Technology at (Mittweida) By reason of the examination-order, enacted through the ordinance of October 1.1926 Mister Ludwig Simon, born 17. June of 1908 in Frankfurt at the Main has completed and passed the final examination for machine engineer for which this report card has been issued. the examination results for each subject are shown on the attached document. (Mittweida), the 15. March of 1929 The director: Council member Professor Holzt The examination-commission: The president Dr. Oster. There is one other paper that is a transcript of his engineering course. 1) Questions I have: Has anyone heard of the School of Technology at (Mittweida) 2) Has anyone heard of Farbenindustrie in Bitterfeld. Is Bitterfeld a town or city. 3) I would also like any information about my GGrandfather (Engineer-William (Eberhard Simon). 4) And, my GGrandmother (Helmi Justine Dorothea), born (Tuhte). I am not sure if Tuhte is her maiden name. I also don't know why some names are in brackets. My father and his family were Catholic so I am hoping there will be some church records in Frankfurt. And, if there is I would like to know how to go about finding them. I've tried the FHC with no luck. Thank you for any assistance you can give me. Jackeline jacky@ampsc.com
