Former Alaska resident WINSTON ELMER BINGHAM, 85, died of natural causes Aug. 7, 2001, at the Willamette Valley Hospital, in McMinnville, Ore. A funeral was at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kenai. A viewing was held one hour before the service. Burial followed at the Kenai City Cemetery.
Mr. Bingham was born Dec. 27, 1915, in Clarkston, Utah. He grew up on a farm near Smithfield, Utah, where he rode his horse named Prince and had a dog named Rover. As he grew older, his family moved to Burley, Idaho. He loved sports and excelled in basketball. The family later moved to Idaho Falls, where he met Edith Smith. They married on May 24, 1938. Mr. Bingham was a World War II veteran and served in the South Pacific. He told many stories about serving in the Army during the war. In about 1947 his father and brothers opened two appliance stores in Idaho Falls and Rexburg, Idaho. Mr. Bingham learned the trade of selling and competed with his Dad in how many washers they could sell. Mr. Bingham was an avid fisherman and used his time off from work to fish the Snake and Teton rivers in Idaho. Many summers were spent in the Salmon River country of Idaho with his family fishing for different varieties of salmon. His family wrote: ''Winston was a family man devoted to his wife and daughters. He taught his children honesty, the importance of an education and the value of hard work. ''In the summer of 1984, Winston moved to the Kenai Peninsula with his wife, Edith, and his daughter, Ruby. He was an active community member who loved the beauty of the land. He made many friends and enjoyed associating with everyone he met. He resided in Alaska until 1997, when he moved to Oregon to live with his oldest daughter and to receive medical care.''
Mr. Bingham is survived by his daughters, Loretta Hoagland of Depoe Bay, Ore., Coleen Ward of Caldwell, Idaho, and Ruby Ellen Bingham of Nikiski; a brother, Fay Bingham of Rexburg, Idaho; eight grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. Arrangements by the Peninsula Memorial Chapel.
