That may be. I have added a snippet from a letter written to my father from James M. Binkley, son of Jacob Monroe Binkley. "Enclosed is a clipping attached here about Father who had to preach in the Opera House, the largest in Texas then, owned by Judge C.C. Binkley, his brother. No Sherman church was large enough to accommodate the crowds that came to listen. He was famous for his humor. You may not know that he declined to be a Methodist Bishop in 1901 at Birmingham, Ala.; as Bishops had to serve in a foreign country for 2-years first, then. He was too busy disposing of the property inherited form the Judge's estate. He helped to found TEXAS WESLYAN COLLEGE (Methodist) 65 years ago and contributed to it. A "Binkley" street is named for him in Fort worth. He also helped to found SMU 52 years ago and made a large contribution, so another "Binkley" street is in University Park in Dallas." It is very possible the Binkley Street you are referring to was in memory of Christopher Columbus Binkley who was the brother of Jacob Monroe Binkley. My mistake, Cissy Theory of relativity: if you go back far enough, we're all related. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hawkins [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, July 03, 2000 5:37 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [GRAYSON] Binkley Street > > > That street is named after Columbus Binkley. > Susan > > JK wrote: > > > > Is the street in Sherman named after Rev.
