Researcher's notes
This coffin plate for Clementina D Collins 1824 ~ 1869 was found in Boston, Mass USA.
I thought that the Clementine Collins, Burlington, Chittenden, Vermont was the best contender. However I found she is still alive in 1870. The Clementine Collins from Tyler, Smith, TX is a good match except for the fact that the custom of keeping coffin plates was not very common in Texas. It will take a little more reasearch to figure this one out.
