    From handwritten notes of niece Lucy Furman, Leila Collins was born 15? Oct 1846 and died 25 Apr 1928; she had four sons.

    1920 Census shows her living in household of son Glenn Dillard Gunn.
    1930 Census does not show her living with son Glenn Dillard Gunn, so she possibly died between 1920 and 1930.
