Bingham, James J.
J. J. Bingham was born Nov. 22, 1840, in Williamson County, Tenn., near the village of Hillsboro. In this county his life was spent. On Sept. 27, 1864, at the age of twenty-four, he married Miss Lou E. Dodd. To them have been born seven children, of whom only three survive. In October, 1873, at the age of thirty-three, Brother Bingham was baptized into Christ by Brother J. M. Barnes. He has had his membership since then with the church at Hillsboro. His brethren all say that he has maintained a character worthy the name of a Christian. For more than a year he has been an invalid, and unable to meet with the brethren, as he was accustomed to do when in health. Gradually failing in health and strength, he fell asleep, as we trust, in Christ, on April 6, 1896, aged fifty-five years, four months, and fifteen days. The community has lost a good man, the church a zealous disciple, the family the head of the household. A widow mourns and children lament, friends and brethren all sorrow; but the Lord called and James J. Bingham answered, and has gone across the river. May the Lord strengthen his wife and children to bear the burden with becoming grace and resignation, and give them consolation through the hope of meeting the loved and lost in the "sweet bye and bye."
