Mr. Collins had been in ill health for several months and it is believed that he had become mentally deranged brooding over his condition. His wife died several years ago and he and an aged sister were living alone. Shortly before he went to the barn he had seemed cheerful and told his sister that he was feeling better. After a long absence his sister became alarmed and went to look for him and found his lifeless body hanging to a rafter of the barn. Mr. Collins had always been known as one of the county’s best citizens and his death was a shock to the community. He was the father of Mrs. H. B. Adams and K. B. Collins of Paintsville.

While she was gone from the house Mr. Cheek used the DDT in a effort to kill flies in the kitchen. The DDT settled on the food and when the couple ate the food both became deathly ill. They remained at their home alone during most of the afternoon before Mrs. Cheek regained strength enough to crawl to an old dinner bell in the yard and summon neighbors. They received treatment at their homes until July 14 when both were brought to the Golden Rule Hospital. Mr. Cheek died one week later.
