STORY | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Private First-Class Arthur Fredrick Bingham, born in Wales 15 Mar 1915, was the son of Fredrick and Edith (Higley) Bingham of Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan. Saginaw is 94 miles north northwest of Detroit. He left a wife, Dorothy, and 3-year-old son, David. In the 1930 census 15-year-old Arthur is living with his parents and siblings George 20, Gladys 13, and Fredrick Jr 10, at 3122 Fulton Street in Saginaw. His father is a laborer for a graphite factory. Brother George is a draftsman. All the children were born in England, so the entire family immigrated some time after Fred Jr was born in 1920.In the 1940 census 25-year-old Arthur is living with his parents and brother Fred 20, still at 3112 Fulton in Saginaw. His father is a press hand for a graphite products company. Arthur is a grinder of graphite products.Arthur married Dorothy Morse 16 Oct 1940 in Saginaw. He lived at 1721 Perkins Street in Saginaw at the time. Son David was born in 1941.In the 1942 Saginaw city directory Arthur and Dorothy are living at 3844 Harold Street. Arthur is a grinder operator for US Graphite Co.Arthur and Dorothy had a second son, Arthur Jr., born 13 Aug 1943 but he died three months later from complications of a congenital heart defect on 17 Oct 1943.The NARA WWII casualty listings by state and county for Michigan show Bingham, Arthur F Pfc from Saginaw County as killed in action 30 July 1944. The 175th IR was engaged at Villebaudon 12 miles south southwest of Saint Lo on 30 July 1944 so we can assume he was killed in the vicinity of VIllebaudon. |
