Note: I feel these are his parents that I have linked. Only found 1900 census for Gus where wife is listed as Ica B Binum. Gus dies in Nov 1908. Then in 1920 found census where Leni J Stewart has remarried and there are step children with the four children of Gus.
Brothers:
Floyd Francis Bynum
James Claborn Bynum
Walter O. Bynum
Today I was given confirmation that these are the correct parents as linked. January 26, 2016. The mother's maiden name is unknown to me.
