Daniel H. Binnard, 1872-1915
Daniel H.5 Binnard (Izrael4, Mosiek3, Jacob2, Lewin1) was born about September 1872 in Monroe County, New York.[1] His birthplace was probably Rochester; his father, called James in America, is listed in the Rochester city directory for that year.[2] As a child Daniel moved with his family to Turner, Oregon,[3] then to Palouse, Washington,[4] where he grew up.
In 1888, when Daniel was 15, his father died.[5] By 1890 he was living in Spokane, Washington, where he worked as a clerk in his brother Aaron’s second-hand store.[6] Still in Spokane three years later, in 1893, he was employed as a salesman for The Lace House.[7] In February 1894, the Spokane Daily Chronicle reported that Daniel was the guest of honor at a stag party given by his brother, Joseph Binnard, along with David Cohen, Henry Kellner, and David Kellner. “Mr. D. Binnard met with a serious accident last week while skating and goes to his home in Palouse city to recuperate. Recitations and shadowgraphs were features of entertainment while music, both vocal and instrumental, was furnished by Prof. Al Kieser, Guy Gulbert, Joe Nolan, Mr. Moss and W. Miller.” About 25 men were in attendance at the party, including another of Daniel’s brothers, Ike Binnard.[8] Daniel was still residing in Spokane in 1901,[9] but by the next year he had moved to Boise, Idaho, where he was employed as a traveling salesman for George Spiegel, a wholesale grocer. He boarded at the Idan-ha Hotel.[10] It was probably there that he met Lola Urquides, a stenographer at the hotel.[11] Lola, whose full name was Maria Dolores Urquides Carreras, was baptized in Boise in October 1882.[12] Her father, Jesus, was of Basque heritage. Born in Mexico, he went to California as a young man and established himself as a mule packer. He later expanded his routes to Nevada, Washington, Oregon, and Lewiston, Idaho,[13] where he may have known the merchant Abraham Binnard, Daniel’s uncle. In 1878 Jesus inherited land in Boise from a friend. The homestead, located at 115 Main, eventually consisted of over 20 cabins Jesus built and rented to fellow packers. Called Spanish Village, it remained in the family until Lola’s death in 1965.[14] Daniel and Lola were married on 3 July 1902 at Boise.[15] For a few years they ran a grocery store in Ontario, Oregon,[16] but by 1911 they were back in Boise, where Daniel resumed work as a traveling salesman.[17] He died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage at the Lincoln Inn in Gooding, Idaho on 3 December 1915.[18] His funeral was held at his home in Boise, with attendance by his four brothers and fellow members of the United Commercial Travelers.[19] He was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery, where he shares a stone with Lola’s brother, Arthur, who died in 1917.[20] Lola lived in Boise the rest of her life. The 1918 city directory shows her working as a stenographer in the State Land Department.[21] In 1920, still a stenographer, she lived with her parents at 115 Main.[22] By 1929 she was secretary to the State Land Commissioner.[23] She died 7 September 1965. There was no room for her to be buried next to her husband in Pioneer Cemetery. She was interred in Cloverdale Memorial Park.[24] Daniel and Lola had no children. _________________________ [1] 1875 New York state census, Fourteenth Ward, Rochester, Monroe County, p. 84, dwelling 692, family 776, entry for Daniel Binnard, son, in household of James Binnard; digital image, FamilySearch.org (https://familysearch.org : accessed 4 April 2012); Family History Library microfilm 833780.
