JOHN BINGEMAN

The subject of this sketch needs no formal introduction to the people of Blenheim township, for there is probably not a farmer in the township who is more familiarly known. He has been "through the mill" in the way of hard work and hardships, to express to in the common phrase of mankind. But he is now quietly enjoying the fruits of his many years of labors, living a retired life on his farm two miles east of Plattsville and a fourth of a mile west of Washington, postoffice. The old stone house which was erected in 1855, stands upon an elevation from which a splendid view of the surrounding country can be had, the quaint hamlet of Washington being in full view. It is indeed a most inviting abode to pass the declining years of one's life.

Mr. Bingeman was born in the village of Bridgeport, Waterloo county, in 1826, and is therefore in the seventy- third year of his age, as his jovial disposition and ruddy countenance would indicate him to be man not more than in the middle age of life. He was formerly a shoemaker by trade. In 1851 he came to Blenheim and took up the home he owns and occupies. The farm comprises 150 acres and is one of the choice tracts of land of Oxford Counties. When he took possession much of it was yet under virgin forest, and all the building now on the premises were erected by him in addition to other improvements.

Prior to coming here in 1848, Mr. Bingeman was married to Judith, daughter of the late David and Leah Snider. The results of this union were sixteen children. The mother died March, 1873, in the forty first year of her age. On September 15, 1874, Mr. Bingeman was married again, his second wife being Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham B Clemens. She was born May 8, 1835, and died July 30, 1890. The fruits of the latter union was one daughter, Veronica who has already reached womanhood and is now the sole comfort and mainstay of the home which has been credit of the guiding influences of a mother. According to this record Mr. Bingeman is entitled to the credit of being the father of seventeen children. Four of the family are deceased.

David S, the oldest son, is on the home farm; Aaron, Julia and Lucy are living in Michigan; Angeline, the eldest daughter, is the wife of Samuel Cressman who is about to remove to Calgary, Man; Mary Ann is the wife of Jacob Shantz, of near Platteville; Elias and Isaac are farming in Wilmot; Titus is living near New Dundee; Caroline is the wife of Jonathan Shantz,, of Winterbourne; Elizabeth is the wife of Aaron Rosenberger, of Berlin; Emma is the wife of Rufus McNickel of Plattsville.

David S., the eldest son, who bas charge of the home place, has a wife and family of four children. They reside in the old stone portion of the residence, a brick addition having been erected for the accommodation of the father. Like the latter the son is having good success as a former and takes particular pride in horse flesh. He has several fine roadsters and a match span of blacks that have and would again give a good account in a show ring. Everything is convenient about the premises, abundance of pure water being furnished the horses and cattle by a hydraulic ram from a never failing spring in the vicinity. In addition to large quantities of grain, roots, etc., the family is amply supplied with choice fruits. This season they put up seventy barrels of prime apples for export. David S. has had charge of the farm about ten years. It would be a moral lesson to a good many similarly situated to note the good will and perfect harmony predominating in this home. The family espouses the Mennonite faith.

The old gentleman is a staunch Reformer, but outside of casting his ballot when an election requires it he keeps aloof from the shady arena of politics. His genial manner and friendly disposition towards all whom he meets has made his friends legion. He believes in enjoying life while life instead and now in his declining years to enjoy the benefits of that which he accumulated by the sweat of his brow in the years of his earlier manhood. He is still in robust health and promises well to reach beyond the octogenarian limit. You will invariably find him in good humor, a characteristic that accounts for his healthy physical condition. The wish of the CHRONICLE scribe is that he may for many years more continue to enjoy a life of ease of body and contentment of mind.

Notes:

Bingeman, "The Bingeman family of the United States and Canada are all descendants of Lawrence Bingeman who emigrated from near Geneva, Switzerland, and arrived in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in April, 1780. On May 16th, 1730, he purchased from one named Jacob Reiff 100 acres of land* situated in Lower Salford Township. In a very short time Mr. Bingeman had quite a number of acres cleared and under cultivation and had the first farm buildings erected thereon, the barn of which was covered with tiles instead of shingles. His useful life in the land of the "Free" was destined to be short. We find that in June, 1733, the "Death Summons" called him away from this world of confusion into the world of "Peace and Joy"--the abode of Angels. His neighbors always found him a pure, honest, upright and God-fearing man. We find that his estate was sold by public auction on August 16th, 1733, and the proceeds of such sale handed over to his wife, Anne Margaret, and family. Since he died without a will we have no means of ascertaining the names of all his children. Quite likely there never was more than one child in the family.† All we know of is one son named Hannes who was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1731. In 1762 he was married to Veronica Kühler. They resided in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where they followed farming until their deaths. To them was born a family of several children whose names were not received. The youngest son of old Hannes Bingeman was"

Notes:

Jacob Shantz, "was born in Switzerland about the year 1710. Owing to religious persecutions, he, with other, left their native home and went to Holland where they had the promise of protection from the persecuting parties by the Prince of Orange. Here he lived some fifteen years. Seeing so many of his co-religionists emigrating to America, besides being informed of the proclamation issued by William Penn, he at last decided to emigrate to America and settle among his co-religionists. He crossed the ocean in a vessel named "Townshead" and landed safely at Philadelphia in the summer of 1737. He may have resided in Germantown for some time. In the year 1745 we find him and his family located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. What number of children he had could not be ascertained. We know that he was married twice. The children of his first wife were II Isaac, II Esther, and II Susannah, and from his second wife we have the record of only one son named II Christian. Old Jacob Shantz died in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, February 5th, 1781, aged a few months less than 71 years. He was buried in the Sprogell Cemetery, beside Magdalena, his first wife."
