His birth occurred in Germany, March 13, 1844, but during his early childhood he was brought to America by his parents, who spent their remaining days in Cambria county, Penn. The father, Lutzeon Binder, was a shoemaker by trade, and continued to follow that occupation until his death.
Our subject attended the district schools of Cambria county during his boyhood and youth, and later was a student in St. Vincent’s College at Latrobe, Penn. With his father he learned the shoemaker trade, but at the age of eighteen he left home and went to Altoona, Penn., where he found employment in a brewery. During the seven years he remained in that city he thoroughly mastered the business in all its various departments and on coming to Renovo, in 1872, he purchased the Brewery’s Run Brewery, which he successfully conducted until life’s labors were ended, May 3, 1897. Genial and social in disposition, he made friends easily, and it is safe to say that in the circle of his acquaintances no man had more friends. He was a progressive, public-spirited citizen who took a deep and commendable interest in the welfare of his town and the county, and did all in his power to insure their prosperity and advancement. As a business man he was honorable, straightforward and reliable in all transactions, and as a citizen he well deserved the high regard in which he was uniformly held.

Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Binder, namely: Edward L, Frank, Louisa, Mary, John, Luke, and Anna. The mother and children are members of the Catholic Church, to which Mr. Binder also belonged. The family is one of prominence, and their many friends are always sure of a hearty welcome at their hospitable home. On the death of the father the eldest son, Edward L., who was born October 7, 1872, has carried on the business in his own name. The capacity of the brewery is about 1,000 barrels per year. The brewery is to be improved in the spring of 1898, in the way of increased capacity, and by the addition of large bottling works. It will have a capacity of 10,000 barrels per year.
