Update on Bernard Leon Bindhamer.
His father is Charles O. Bindhamer (only 1 M).Born in 1881.Married Blanche, b. 1884.Charles died in Ladogo, Indiana.He owned his own Shoe Repair Shop and both of his parents were also from Indiana.
Supposedly Bernard Leon Bindhamer was one of seven children.Bernard was also known as "Cy".Bernard had a brother, Charles Victor Bindhammer (spelled with 2 M's).Charles Victor Bindhammer b. in 1909 in Indiana and d. 1986 in Florida and burried in Indianapolis, Indiana.Charles Victor Bindhammer m. Opal Irene Hart and they had two sons.Lowell Gene Bindhammer b. 1937 and Michael Lynn Bindhammer b. 1942.When Michael was abt. 16 his mother divorced Charles Victor Bindhammer and married his brother Bernard Leon Bindhamer.No one seems to know why Charles Victor changed his spelling of Bindhammer to 2M's.I have photos of Charles Victor's and Bernard's headstones with their last names spelled differently.
