Kollmann, Faye (Graham)

Kollmann

Faye Graham Kollmann, 84, was born at home in the Beaumont Area March 17, 1926 and passed away at Hermann Hospital in Houston on November 17, 2010.  

Faye was raised by her parents John M. and Sara Alice Graham in the Heights area of Houston, Texas. She attended Reagan High School, graduating in 1943. Faye worked briefly in the Coca-Cola Bottling Company before marrying the love of her life, Milton A. Kollmann on February 5, 1944. Together they raised five children and in 1970 settled in the Columbus area and reared generations of offspring. When Milton died in 1993, Faye managed to maintain the basis of what their family was built on, Faith, Hope, Joy, and Love.

Faye loved her faith and her Lord and she served in many areas of ministry throughout her life. She loved the warm fellowship of Christian friends and cherished the times of devotion in the word.

Faye was a lover of much, an avid collector, artist, musician, trickster, comedian, friend and confidant. She had a loving heart that was filled to overflowing with passion and concern for everyone she came in contact with. She was a lover of life and nature and enjoyed the outdoors, travel and digging in the dirt.

She was an avid sports fan.  Many will fondly remember her at some sporting event. Whether she was watching her husband, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, or just the local hometown team, she was always the loudest and the proudest. She now owns the ticket to every game and has the best seat available.

Faye will be remembered most for her energy and passion, a fire that was truly contagious.  We pray that her flame will not be extinguished here, but continue to warm us as she shines radiantly in the presence of her Heavenly Father.

Faye was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother, John Hart Graham and sister Jewel Aden.

Faye was survived by a sister, Helen Aden. Faye was also survived by her daughters, Pam Peebles and husband Sam; Debbie Lothridge and husband Joe; Janice Gerry and husband Douglas; Trudi Stavinoha and husband Buddy; and one son Arthur Kollmann and wife Susie.

Kollman, Geraldine H.

Columbus Girl Brutally Murdered

Nineteen-Year-Old Geraldine Kollmann Victim of Most Heinous Crime Perpetrated In This Section in Annals of History.

A story of the most fiendish assault and murder ever known in these parts was told in typewritten confessions of two Negro men, made in the Harris County jail late Monday night. The statements were taken from the two ruthless brutes separately and corroborated perfectly. They told of their selling pecans in Columbus, receiving $1.85 in payment, walking across the north bridge and across pastures, meeting their victim who was riding on a horse, engaging her in conversation about threshing pecans for her, and of the suggestion made by one of them that they attack her. The blackest and most diabolical crime of which the human mind is capable is depicted in startling and fiendish detail as the narrators go on to tell how one of them grabbed the horse by the bridle and struck the defenseless young girl; with an elm club, knocking her from the horse as she was caught by the other ruffian and strangled into insensibility. It tells of the mutilation of the body and of it being thrown into the creek, the two culprits walking off to their usual haunts and appearing unconcerned.

The confession ended the search made by Sheriff F. F. Hoegemeyer and force, aided by Texas Ranger E. M. Davenport, covering the period from last Thursday evening until the confessions were made. Those officers had been continuously on the hunt, with little rest or sleep, and had gathered in some ten or a dozen suspects in their search.

The two confessed murderers were apprehended Sunday, Beanie Mitchell, who lives on the Schobel place north of town, being caught in Columbus about 12:30 p.m. and Ernest Collins, who lives on the John Hastedt place northeast of town, being taken about two o'clock. They were held in the jail here until about six o'clock Monday evening when they were whisked away to Houston for safekeeping. The confessions were made late that night, and contained statements that they were their makers' free and open confessions and that they were not made under duress or threat of any kind.

One attempt was made to throw officers off the trail through a rumor that reached Sheriff Hoegemeyer Monday. An old woman relative of one of the Negroes told a white farmer of seeing a Negro convict running through the woods near the scene of the crime. Capt. Buck Flannagan of the Central Prison Farm was called and came with hounds and searched the woods late into the night Monday. A considerable crowd joined in the search it is said.

All questioning of the sheriff's department Sunday and Monday failed to bring out any information as to their findings, and Sheriff Hoegemeyer later said that he had had some of his best friends question him very closely, but he knew it was not safe to give out that they knew they had the right parties. He felt certain they would be taken from the jail here if the people knew.

Miss Geraldine Kollmann, the victim of this cruel tragedy, left her home Thursday morning at about 9:00 o'clock on her horse to hunt pecans. When she did not return at a reasonable time after dinner a search was instituted, and her twelve-year-old brother, Milton, discovered her body floating in the shallow water of Cummins Creek near the place her house was found tied to a fence. The boy went into the creek and pushed the body to the bank where he anchored it until he could sum on help. He called the father of the girls who was assisting Henry Rau put up hay, and a call was made to officers here. When the news reached this city the fire siren was sounded and a considerable crowed at one departed for the scene. In the following hours the location of the tragedy was tramped out of any usefulness for clues of any kind, and the officers were left to ferret a crime that was doubted by many.

The body, when found, had the riding trousers pulled off and hanging on one foot and showed bruises on the shoulder and neck. The arms were extended upward above the head and were rigid in that position. The examination disclosed that there was no water in the lungs, indicating that death was not caused by drowning.

The body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Untermeyer where Justice of the Peace K. C. Thrower held and inquest withholding a verdict for further investigation. The body was examined by Doctors E. C. Gordon and S. H. Kirkham and their findings kept secret while the officers worked. Ranger Davenport was summoned to the city, reaching here Saturday, and a thorough investigation conducted with the results above stated.

In conversation with the Citizen editor Tuesday morning, Mr. Davenport expressed his highest commendation of the ability and tireless efforts of Sheriff F. F. Hoegemeyer and his first Deputy, officer B. L. Townsend and stated that these men had shown dauntless courage, astute understanding, wonderful control and an untiring energy in the unraveling of the perplexing problem in hand.

The entire community was working up to a high pitch of excitement during the search for parties and nothing much else entered conversations on our streets. Miss Geraldine was well known here having attended the Columbus school and graduated with highest honors in the class of '34. In her high school career she had been a class officer, a member of the Classic Club, the Pep Squad, volleyball squad and Shorthand Cub, and was on the school paper staff and took part in the senior class play. She was one of the brightest pupils and a leader in whatever she entered, besides being a lovable character and popular with all.

The funeral, held Sunday at 1:00 P.M. at the home of her aunt, Mr. Emil J. Untermeyer, was fitting tribute to her popularity. [Interment was in Odd Fellows Rest] Rev. W. A. Flachmeier in conducting the service said in part that there was reason to believe that she had died by the hand of an assassin, and took that occasion to express the Christian view of restraint from any act of violence upon her destroyer, should he be found, pointing out that mob violence is a crime that does not rectify a past crime. Countenances in his hearing did not indicate that all present were so forgiving nor so law respecting, and it is perhaps fortunate for the current-day reputation of this fair city that the confessed hellish fiends were removed to a comparatively safe distance.

Miss Geraldine was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kollmann, living ab out three miles north of town. Besides the sorrowing parents, four brothers survive her. The bereaved ones have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
