obituary
St. Louis (MO) Globe-Democrat, March 16 1886, pg.5/column 7
Sherman, Tex., March 15.--Judge C. C. BINKLEY, President of the Merchants and
Planters' National Bank of Sherman, died this evening at 8 o'clock, after an
illness of several months.
Judge BINKLEY has been identified with Sherman, Tex., since 1853, when, with his
father's family, he left Robertson County, Tenn., the place of his birth, for
this little prairie village on the frontier of civilization. He began the
practice of law, and was appointed District Judge by Governor E. J. DAVIS, in
1870. He held the office until a successor was elected by the people, and
thereafter devoted his entire time to the management of the bank which he
founded, and served as President up to this time. Sherman owes more to his
liberality and public spirit than to that of any other citizen, and there are
few business men in North Texas who will not remember his name with gratitude.
