Frank Bingham, Well Known In This City, Has Crossed the Great Divide
Big hearted, whole souled Frank Bingham is dead. Death came swiftly with little warning. he was taken sick at Billings Thursday one week ago and was immediately removed to Helena, where his wife was, and death ensued the following day. Cerebro-spinal meningitis was the cause of death.
Frank Bingham was until quite recently a passenger conductor on the Great Northern railway and a better man never wore the uniform. He was kind and good natured, thoroughly efficient and painstaking, and had a host of friends all over the state. After resigning his position with the Great Northern railway he accepted a position on the road with a wholesale cigar firm and was doing a splendid business.
He had been a careful, thrifty man and had accumulated considerable property. He owned a fine ranch near Cascade, well stocked with cattle, and his son, Bert, lived there and looked after the property. His other son, Frank, held a lucrative position in Butte.
Frank Bingham was as well known in Havre as any man in this city. He was universally loved and respected and was a great favorite with the children in town, in whom he always took great interest.
The news of his death was a distinctive shock to the people of Havre and expressions of sincere regret and genuine sorrow were heard upon every hand on receipt of this sad intelligence. Mr. Bingham was in Havre less than a month ago and was then in best of health and spirits.
The Helena Record of Tuesday said:
The funeral of Frank Bingham, the well-known Great Northern conductor and traveling salesman, whose sudden death from spinal-meningitis occurred Saturday, was held yesterday afternoon from the Masonic temple, and despite the downpour of rain, was largely attended. From 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, the body lay in state in the Masonic temple, and at the latter hour the funeral was held. During that time hundreds of people took occasion to take a last look upon the kindly and familiar features of the departed friend.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. James F. McNamee of the First Baptist Church, while the simple and impressive Masonic services were said by the grave by the officers of Morning Star lodge. The Rev. Dr. McNamee paid high tribute to the sterling worth of the departed, his habits and character.
These lodges, with which he was affiliated, participated in the funeral services by attending in a body: Morning Star Lodge of Masons, Royal Arch chapter Knights Templar, Algeria Temple, Mystic Shrine and Fraternal Order of Eagles. In addition, the Order of Eastern Star was officially represented.
Pallbearers were: P. M. Collins, L. B. Woods, Harry Pickett, D. J. Wait, Jacob Fisher and F. W. Zeits.
