           PHILIP BINKLE,  harness-maker at Sand Beach, was born April 21,
        1858, in Canada. His father, CHRISTIAN BINKLE, was born in Germany,
        and is now a farmer in the Dominion; the mother, EVE BINKLE, is
        also living.  MR. BINKLE learned his trade at Listowell, Out., be-
        ginning his apprenticeship when he was 14 years of age. He served
        three years, and worked during the year succeeding at carriage
        trimming. He has followed his trade ever since.
           He came to Michigan in 1876, and after spending three months at
        Jeddo, St. Clair County, he came to Adams' Corners, Huron County,
        and was in the employ of A. H. ADAMS two years. He went thence to
        White Rock, and managed the business of harnessmaking one year in
        his own interest.
           In May, 1880, he established his shop at Sand Beach, where he
        has prosecuted his business with success. His shop contains a good
        assortment of articles common to such business, together with vali-
        ses and trunks. Besides his operations as a harnessmaker, and in
        the repair department of his shop, he trafficks in hides, wool and
        fur. He is the owner of some real estate at Sand Beach.
           The marriage of MR. BINKLE to LENA WHIPLER occurred at Listo-
        well, Can., Feb. 13,1879. One child, the eldest son, was born in
        White Rock. Two others were born in Sand Beach.  Their births
        occurred as follows: HENRY, Feb. 7, 1880; ANNIE, March 30, 1882;
        WILLIAM O., June 29, 1884.  MRS. BINKLE was born in Canada, Jan.
        19, 1861, and is the daughter of JOHN and MARGARET WHIPLER.
