  • Notes 
    • Joseph B. Bingeman, "was born November 9th, 1847. On May 28th, 1872, he was married to Leah Hallman who was born August 30th, 1851. When a young man Mr. Bingeman was engaged as a teacher in our public schools for a number of years. In this profession he proved himself to be one of the most successful men of the county. He is well posted on all political questions of the day, a good counselor, always giving inquiring parties the most healthy advice. He is also an eloquent advocate in all questions pertaining to the vexed prohibition question causing so much uneasiness in our day. He is very much interested in our present school system and has been one of the members of the board of Trustees for the Berlin Schools for a number of years. At present he resides in the town of Berlin where he is engaged in the manufacturing of brushes. His family consists of nine children".

      Grim Reaper Busy

      The somewhat unexpected death of one of Berlin's best known citizens in the person of Mr. Joseph B. Bingeman took place during the early hours of this morning. The deceased had been in ill health for over a year, suffering from the dread disease, tuberculosis. He retired as usual last evening and at 2 o'clock this morning his wife went to his room and found him as she thought, sleeping and he was not awakened. At four o'clock she went to his bedside again and found that he had passed peacefully away and was cold in death.

      The deceased was the third son of the late Jonas Bingeman, and was born on November 9th, 1817. He secured a splendid education and when a young man engaged in school teaching for some years and was considered one of the best in the country. He moved to Berlin many years ago and engaged in the bookstore business at present occupied by Messrs. F. I. Weaver & Co. He was also in the brush manufacturing business for some years. In recent years he has been travelling extensively and was interested in several mining enterprises.

      The deceased took a keen interest in educational and municipal matters and served several terms as member of the School Board and Town Council. He was a staunch Liberal, and a member of the Mennonite faith.

      The deceased was married to Miss Leah Hallman, who survives, together with seven daughters and one son, namely, Mrs. I. D. Coutts, Georgetown; Mrs D. M. McLennan, Port Neus, Que., Mrs. M. E. Shantz, Berlin; Malissa, Corning, N. Y.; Ella, Boston, Mass., Ethel and Alfleda Pearl, at home, and Milton, of Winnipeg.

      The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the house, Bingeman street, to the East End Mennonite church and cemetery.
