--Sherman, Tex., March 15.--Judge C. C. Binkley, President of the
Merchants and Planters' National Bank of Sherman, died this evening at
8 o'clock, after an illness of several months.
Judge Binkley
has been identified with Sherman, Tex., since 1853, when, with his
father's family, he left Robertson County, Tenn., the place of his
birth, for this little prairie village on the frontier of civilization.
He began the practice of law, and was appointed District Judge by
Governor E. J. Davis, in 1870. He held the office until a successor was
elected by the people, and thereafter devoted his entire time to the
management of the bank which he founded, and served as President up to
this time. Sherman owes more to his liberality and public spirit than
to that of any other citizen, and there are few business men in North
Texas who will not remember his name with gratitude. |

Headline: Denison Editor Dead; Was Ill But Week. Elwin A. Thompson Victim of Peritonitis--End Comes in Hospital at Sherman.
Date: October 7, 1910
--Denison,
Texas, Oct. 7.--Elwin A. Thompson, editor of the Denison Herald, s dead
at his home here. The end came at 9:20 last night in the hospital at
Sherman and was due to peritonitis, from which he had suffered but one
week. When stricken an operation was intended, but when he was taken
to the hospital his condition was so serious it was decided to forego
this until he improved enough to permit it. He grew gradually worse,
however, and it was apparent yesterday that the end was near.
Mr.Thompson was born in Vermont forty years ago, and came to Denison
seventeen years ago. The Denison Herald was then for sale and Mr.
Thompson purchased the property, one or more friends being associated
with him. Twelve years ago he married Miss Margaret Balkey of Kansas
City, who survives him, with two children, Elwin and Jane. His father,
L.S.Thompson, is now a citizen of Denison. He leaves one sister, Mrs.
R. C. Hearne of Fort Worth. |
