I thought it was too until I ran into the newspaper article that carried the naming story while researching something else. Apparently the story of the street naming was also repeated in the book written by the Sherman library but the newspapers of the day reflect the district Judge Christopher Columbus Binkley was the one being honored.His name caught my eye as I had just given a speech detailing his extraordinary funeral. Rev. Binkley though had several Methodist Churches named for him. susan Cissy Chambers wrote: > > Yes, it is.
