General Notes: Ingham County Biographical Sketches
Edwin B. Binding
Those men who came to Ingham county in the very early days and made the first settlements here were men of more than ordinary caliber, broad in their views, earnest in their life's aim and full of enterprise.
They "builded better than they knew" and laid the foundation for the splendid development which we see today. Our subject, Edwin D. Binding, is descended from one of these honourable old pioneers.
His birth occurred in White Oak, November 29, 1851, and he is the son of James and Grace (Stephens) Binding. The father was born in Somerset county, England, March 18,
1794, and the mother in Armont county, Ireland, April 2, 1817. The father died June 30, 1878, the mother's death following later. He and Edwin own 210 acres of land together; Edwin living on the farm owned by his parents.
Our subject started out for himself in 1877 and travelled nearly all over the United States.
November,1878, he settled on one hundred and twenty acres of land, where he now lives. He was united in marriage February 23, 1892, to Ella Pulling, born October 4, 1859.
James Binding the father of our subject had two brothers and one sister -- John, William and Sally -- who remained in the home country. The experiences of this pioneer were common to those of the early settler. In early days he used to plow with an ox and cow. Experiences of this sort were continually coming to the early settler, who endured so much that we might today dwell in peace and enjoy the prosperity that surrounds us on every side.
In political views, our subject is a Prohibitionist,and fraternally he is allied with the Grange, being its overseer. His landed possessions now consist of one hundred and thirty acres, well improved and in a high state of cultivation. By honesty, industry and perseverance he had accumulated this property and established a reputation which entitles him to the distinction of being one of the representative men in White Oak.
