He was the son of Patrick Collins (died 1876), a tailor who came from County Limerick to Troy in 1848. Michael attended the common schools, and then became a typesetter and printer working for the Troy Weekly and then the Troy Press. In 1877, during a printers strike, Collins and seven other newspaper employees founded the Troy Evening Standard. He was City Editor at the Standard until 1879, when he bought the Sunday Trojan and renamed it the Troy Observer. In 1880, he married Caroline E. O'Sullivan, and they had six children.
