BINGMAN
Orlando Bingman was born in Snyder county, Pa., February 3 1839, and died at the Mercer, Pa., hospital March 3, 1907, after an illness of several months the last month being one of great suffering. In 1871 he was united in marriage with Salina A. Longstreth, who died 15 years ago. To this union seven children were born, all of whom survive, except one, as follows; Mrs. Chas. A. Harrison, Nebraska, Pa.; W. F. Bingman, Newmansville, Pa.; J. F. Bingman, West Hickory, Pa.; G. W. Bingman, deceased; S. G., Orie and Truman Bingman, Nebraska. Four brothers, Fred and Girard, of Union county, James, of Ohio, and Perry, of Big Horn, Wyoming, also survive.
Mr. Bingman came to Forest county from Union county about 22 years ago, and bought a farm in Green township, which he cleared cultivated and occupied until about two years ago, when he went to make his home with the family of his daughter, Mrs. Harrison. He was a veteran of the Civil war, enlisting in the 49th Reg't, Pa. Vols. in 1861, and remaining till the close of hostilities. His record as a soldier and patriot is an honorable one. Many years ago Mr. Bingman united with the M. E. church and remained a steadfast, earnest Christian to the end of his life. He was a man of strictest honesty, gentle and kind in disposition, and highly respected by his neighbors and all who knew him.
Funeral services will be held today at Newmansville, in charge of Rev. W. O. Calhoun, with interment in the Lutheran church cemetery.
