Obituary - Daily Gazette, Xenia, Ohio, 18 Jul 1905 (page 6); CHAPLAIN G. W. COLLIER WAS VERY WIDELY KNOWN /As Father of the O. S. & S. O. Home -- Children of the Institution have lost an earnest Friend: Delaware, O., July 17. - Chaplain George W. Collier, U. S. A., retired, one of the most widely known men in Grand Army circles of the state, died last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. K. Warner, of this city.
Death was caused by a general decline, due to his advanced age.
He was born at Leroy, Medina county, August 29, 1825, and entered the North Ohio conference in 1850.
In 1861 he was appointed chaplain of the 34th O. V. I., and served with the regiment until mustered out. After the war he again took up his ministerial work holding charges at Toledo, Fremont, Tiffin, Sandusky and Wooster.
In 1879 he was commissioned a chaplain in the United States Army by President Hayes, and last year was commissioned major by President Roosevelt. He was also chaplain-in-public of the United States on the staff of General Logan.
Chaplain Collier was the originator of the plans that later developed into the Ohio Soldier's and Sailors' Orphans' Home, and as founder of that institution is generally known as "Father of the Soldier's and Sailors' orphans." Commissioned by General Kiefer, commander, in 1897, of the G. A. R., to organize the home, he traveled extensively in other states and brought back ideas that have not only made the Xenia Home a model of its kind, but established a standard for children's homes throughout the world. The "Family" plan, wherein the children are divided into groups of thirty-five, and lodged in cottages under the care of a "mother" also the industrial and farm are among the prominent features introduced by him.
With these ideas formulated he, with George Ebright traveled over the state of Ohio to find a suitable site, and while pausing for a brief rest at Xenia, they walked out of town and came to a beautiful maple grove, which was ultimately chosen. A tract of 100 acres was secured for the sum of $10,000, the major portion of which was given by the people of Xenia. The remainder of the money for the site, the cost of the buildings and the support of 100 orphans during the two years the home was in building, was a burden assumed by the chaplain.
He was one of the original board of trustees and to the day of his death took personal interest in the boys and girls at the Home, and was greatly beloved by them. He corresponded personally with several hundred young people, and wherever he went the boys and girls were ever welcome to come to him at all times. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than to be greeted by the military salute and the formula "Hello Chaplain, I'm from Xenia," a phrase he had fixed as the "password" by which he should know his "boys and girls".
Chaplain Collier is survived by one daughter, Mrs. L. K. Warner, and three sons, Durban Collier, of Durant, Iowa; Prof. George F. Collier, of Baldwin University, Berea, and Rev. Edwin S. Collier, of Cleveland. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 2 p. m.
He had often expressed the desire to rest "at last among his children, beneath the Stars and Stripes and the maple trees at Xenias," and interment will doubtless be made in accordance with his wishes

Obituary - Minutes of the … Northern Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1905, page 184: CHAPLAIN GEORGE W. COLLIER. U. S. A. // In the death of Chaplain Collier there disappears a man of marked character and influence He was a man in every proper sense of the term a manly man, a Christian man, a true disciple of the Master, a prophet of the Lord, a servant of the Most High, a faithful friend, a citizen ever seeking civic righteousness, a patriot of unexcelled loyalty, a soldier whose services covered all the years of the Civil War. Chaplain Collier was born at LeRoy, Ohio, in 1825, and died in Delaware, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rev, L. K. Warner, July 16, 1905. Early in his life he became a schoolteacher. He entered the North Ohio Conference in 1850. He spent eighteen years in the pastoral relation, four years as Presiding Elder, one year as Financial Secretary of the Ohio Wesleyan, thirty years as an army chaplain. As a pastor he was always particularly sympathetic with the sick, the sorrowing, and attentive to the aged and to the young. As a preacher he was eminently practical, direct, evangelistic, and revivalistic. He was pre-eminently a wise administrator of all the interests of the charges over which he presided. He built many church edifices, and was of great service in church dedications. He was unusually well adapted to army chaplaincy. He suffered himself to be captured by General John H. Morgan, rather than forsake the sick and wounded of his regiment, when, with others, he could easily have escaped. Morgan believed him to be a spy, and determined to hang him, but he was saved by the death of Morgan and the intervention of General Johnston. His wonderful influence over the soldiers brought cheer to the camp and inspiration in battle. One of the greatest achievements of his life was his part in the founding and organization of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, located at Xenia, Ohio. Within two years he traveled in Ohio ten thousand miles to awaken public sentiment, to secure co-operation of army organizations, and to raise funds for launching the enterprise. Many thousand boys and girls have found a delightful home, a good education, and a thorough training in the trades they wished to learn. The institution in all its history has been, and it will ever be, a monument to the thoughtfulness, planning, sacrifices, service, and oversight of Chaplain Collier. Chaplain Collier was a man of no ordinary mold. His mental and moral qualities combined to constitute a stalwart and heroic character.
His early ministry identified him with the pioneer preachers of Methodism in Northern and Northwestern Ohio. He had a strong and highly emotional nature, deep and warm impulses, great enthusiasm in any approved enterprise, but all these were under the control of a sound judgment and clear conviction. His environments, especially in his army life, were often trying, but no moral principle was ever compromised by any concession or conduct on his part. He lived a transparent life. He was a model patriot, his army life his full proof. He was a student of all public measures, and earnestly strove to adjust his best influence to them. Love of the Commonwealth and county, and an every-day devotion to their good were no little part of his pure and undefiled religion. He was an unusual student of current events, and their influence upon the public weal. He had an optimistic view of the present, and always believed the future would be better. A marked and prevailing characteristic was his ardent love of life; without being worldly he loved this old world, where he had seen eighty summers come and go. Life was as clear to him in his last days as it was in his youth. He longed to see the outcome of national and international events. Had he been consulted he would have added a decade more to his fourscore. But he uttered no murmurings against Providence in his sufferings and privations covering a full year. He gave testimony to his preparation for the change that must come. He felt it was hard to say,"Good-night," but in his heart rejoiced that a bright "good-morning" from his beloved companion, from a multitude of his friends, and spiritual children awaited him on the other shore.

General Notes: George W. Collier became a Methodist minister and served as a Chaplain in the Civil War and later as a Chaplain in the regular army. He entered the ministry of the Methodist Church in 1850 at the age of 25. He served pastorates in the North Ohio Conference from 1850 to 1854 at Milan, Melmore, Fostoria and Kenton. In 1853 he was also agent of the Sabbath School Union. While pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Fostoria, Ohio, the first graves dug in the New Fostoria cemetery were for two of his children, George Olin and Mary Ella Collier.

He then served pastorates in the Central Ohio Conference from 1856 to 1860 at Toledo and West Liberty. In 1861 he was appointed Chaplain of the 34th Ohio Regiment by Governor Dennison, a position in which he served four years. In May 1864 after a battle at Wytheville, Virginia, the wounded Union soldiers were left at a house with Chaplain Collier detailed to remain with them. He was taken prisoner by confederate troops under the command of General John H. Morgan and held for four months as a spy, in the jail at Abingdon, Virginia.

After the Civil War, land in eastern Iowa was opened for homesteading and each soldier who fought in the civil war was eligible to receive forty acres. Chaplain Collier accepted his forty acres and purchased three adjacent forty-acre tracts from other soldiers who did not want to homestead which increased his farm to 160 acres. He lived in Iowa for a year before returning to Ohio. His son, Durbin Collier, ran the farm which is still in operation by his descendants.

Rev. Collier again served pastorates in the Central Ohio Conference from 1866 to 1869 at Toledo and Fremont and in the Northern Ohio Conference from 1870 to 1874 at Tiffin and Sandusky. In 1875 he was an Agent for Ohio Wesleyan University and from 1876 to 1878 he was presiding Elder of the Wooster District.

During his appointment at Freemont (1868 - 1869) he was relieved from duty to do special work under the direction of Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army who served in the Civil War. In 1870 he was commissioned Chaplain in Chief in the GAR, on the staff of General John H. Logan. During this period he helped to raise money for the founding of the Soldiers and Sailors Orphan Home at Xenia, Ohio, in 1869. His correspondence said; "This is the most important work of my life blessing more young lives putting them in position to help themselves and to help the world". In 1978, the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home became known as the Ohio Veterans' Children's Home. In 1997, the Ohio Veterans' Children's Home ceased operation. More than 13,500 children had been cared for and educated. The 150-acre campus is now home to the Xenia Christian School, Athletes in Action, and other various Christian ministries. The Collier Chapel, built in 1873, is one of the oldest buildings that remains standing on campus.

George W. Collier was a personal friend of President Rutherford Hayes, under whom he served during the Civil War, also of President William McKinley. A number of letters written by President Hayes to him have been given to the Hayes Memorial Library a Fremont, Ohio. In 1879 he was recommended by Major William McKinley and on June 3, 1879 nominated by President Rutherford Hayes to the post of; Chaplain of the United States Army which was approved by the U.S. Senate. He was stationed at Fort Pembina, Dakota Territory, from 1879 to 1883 and at Fort Totten, Dakota Territory from 1884 to 1889.

He retired from active service 29 Aug 1889 at age 64. He moved to Delaware, Ohio, in 1898 to educate his sons, George F. and Edwin S. Collier. He spent 1894, 1895 in the south. He died at Delaware, Ohio, 1905 at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Louis and Ellen Warner.

Death Notes: Obituary - (undated newspaper clipping): MRS. ELEANOR JANE JONES COLLIER // Eleanor Jane Jones, the wife of Chaplin G. W. Collier, U. S. A., suddenly died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Rev. L. K. Warner, in Mount Vernon, Ohio, November 16, 1898. She leaves a stricken husband, one daughter, three sons, one sister and two brothers, a large company of relatives, and a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances gathered along the pathway of a long and useful life. She and her husband had walked together for more than fifty-one years. They began their itinerary in the North Ohio Conference in 1850, and from that time all the trials, hardships, and successes incident to that kind of life and labor she shared with her husband. This covered the period of the Civil War, in which trying time her heroic spirit was manifest. In 1879 her husband was appointed to a post chaplaincy in the United States army, and for ten years their home was in the far Northwest. After his retirement they lived in Delaware for four years, and since then have made their home principally with their daughter, taking occasion each winter to spend a few months in the South. They were just maturing plans for another journey South, when she suddenly departed for fairer climes, to be at home forever with her Lord. Mrs. Collier died at the age of seventy-one. Her form was erect, her countenance fair and beautiful. She was frail as a flower, yet with a strength of endurance that astonished her friends. She loved all that was beautiful. Her home was first in consideration, and she made it an ideal one. She reigned as queen, and her love and care were manifest to the smallest affairs that concerned that charmed circle. She was a loyal and devoted Christian, with a courage that would have adorned the early Christians. She loved flowers and children. Hers was a pure and lofty spirit, that with fine perception was strongly attracted by all that was uplifting. She lived for her family, and gave her children to the service of God with the marks of her careful training and the benediction of her lofty spirit. Her crowning earthy glory, perhaps, was when her youngest son was ordained to the eldership in that never-to-be-forgotten ordination service, conducted by Bishop Goodsell, at Millersburg, at the last session of the North Ohio Conference. Her faced was aglow with heavenly light, and an expression of unutterable peace wreathed her face in smiles. She came to Mount Vernon two weeks before she died. She was already ill, but no one apprehended immediate danger. But suddenly, while the attending physician was present, surrounded by husband, daughter, and family, she quietly passed to the home beyond. Brief funeral services were held in Mount Vernon, conducted by Rev. C. F. Johnson, presiding elder of the district, assisted by Revs. G. W. Ball, L. M. Snyder, and J. F. Hastings. The interment was at Delaware, where services were held in Asbury Church, Sunday afternoon, November 20^th, conducted by Rev. A. J. Lyons, assisted by the pastor, A. D. Knapp and Professors Whitlock, Stevenson and Williams.

Death Notes: Obituary - Davenport Democrat Leader, 11 Nov 1910: PIONEER BANKER AND BUSINESS MAN DEAD //Louis Haller succumbs After Short Illness; Had Useful Career. // A bright and useful life was ended last night when Louis Haller, pioneer business man and banker of Davenport and one of the early settlers of this community, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. L. Hageboeck, 129 West Eleventh street, after an illness of only a few days of pneumonia, at the age of 83 years and nine months.
Mr. Haller was born in Halle-on-the Salle (Saale), Germany, Feb 4, 1827, and came to this county in 1849, stopping for a few months in St. Louis, when he came to Blue Grass, in this county. Shortly afterward he came to Davenport, and in 1851, joined an expedition of gold seekers to California, going by the way of New Orleans and thence to Aspinwell by steamer. From Aspinwell a railroad led six miles on the way across the Isthmus, and from there the journey was made on foot, sailing from the other side of the panama canal to San Francisco.

In 1858 he went back to California but remained only long enough to settle up his business affairs when he returned to this city and has resided here since that period, covering a space of 52 years, in which he has been actively engaged in the city's upbuilding.
Married in 1858 // On Dec 8, 1858, he was married to Margherata Ladehoff of Davenport who died seven years ago. Three children were born to them, Attorney Charles W. Haller of Omaha; Mrs. Jessie F. Koch, 1027 Main street and Mrs. Ida Pauline Hageboeck, with whom he made his home for the past seven years.
On his return to Davenport Mr. Haller established himself in the retail meat business on Brady street with two brothers, Charles and Frank, both deceased. After a successful business career there, Mr. Haller became associated with John Ransow in the western part of the city in the pork packing industry.
His banking Life // Mr. Haller was one of the group of Davenport men, headed by Austin Corbin, who first conceived the idea of starting a savings bank in the state of Iowa. In this he was associated with John P. Van Patten, Gust Schlegel, F. H. Griggs, H. H. Hills, John F. Dillon and F. L. Miller and the institution was absorbed by the Davenport Savings bank in 1870.
Of that institution he was one of the first directors and was elected and reelected vice president each term since 1874. He was also one of the early stockholders of the First National bank.
Prominent Mason // Mr. Haller had been a Kinght (sic) Templar since young manhood and was actively associated with everything pertaining to the welfare of the local chapters.
He was one of the principal boosters in the movement to construct a home for the Masons in Davenport, and his consistent efforts to this direction were the cause of his election as president of the Masonic Temple building association.
Mr. Haller, although a public spirited citizen and zealously concerned in the development of the city, was of a quiet disposition and was essentially a home man. He was never more contented than when he was with his family and he spent most of his evening in his home. He had resided in the home where his death occurred for 31 years.
Besides his children and 13 grandchildren he is survived by three brothers, William Haller of North Brady street and F. W. Haller of this city and Otto Haller, who lives in the West.
The Funeral// The funeral will be held from the residence Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be private. The family also request, as the wish of Mr. Haller, that no flowers be sent. Burial will be made in Oakdale cemetery. C. W. Haller, a son of Omaha, will arrive in this city tomorrow.
