Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) 24 Jan 1898
- There was recently solemnised at Minerva, the residence of the bride's family, a pretty wedding, when Mr. A. J. Carden Collins, son of Mr. J. Carden Collins, Greenwell, Gracemere, and manager of Messrs. Archer Brothers' St. Helens Station, was married to Miss Elizabeth Wills, eldest daughter of Mr. C. S. Wills, of Minerva, Springsure. The event was of more than ordinary interest from the fact that the contracting parties are de cendants of the families belonging to that class of pioneer squatters who did so much in the early days to open up the interior of this continent, and who still, through all the varying changes of fortune, preserve an honoured name in the land where thoy once held wide sway. The bride's family, who originally established the large squatting station of Cullin-la-ringo, will long be remembered for the tragic events that led to the murder of some of the family by the blacks. The ceremony took place at Minerva in the presence of a large number of guests. The dancing room was prettily decorated for the occasion, and the service was performed by the Rev, R. E. Bryant.

Internet Phil Williams and he received it from Dave Collins
Known as Uncle Jack. For some years he managed Millungara Station, about 105km north of Julia Creek. He then owned Bezuma nearby - later passed to his son Egbert. Nephew Bob [Robert James Carden], son of 'Cardie' also worked there. Note from p 242 of 'Rockhampton: A History of City and District':- Re the drought of 1902-03. "The Archers' most crippling losses occurred on St Helens which before the drought and under A. J. Carden Collins' management carried 7,000 Herefords and a stud herd of Durhams." John Lockhart Gibson says his mother and sisters spoke fondly of Jack and Duke Collins. See document with his obituary.
