Ted was born in Manassa, Colorado on August 5, 1898. His parents were Jeremiah Edward Bingham and Ada Zoa Jack. He was just 9 years old when both of his parents had died.
When Cora died because of a farming accident, he was left alone with his children. In this picture, you see in the front row: Cora Larue, James Edward (Ted), Doris Faye, and Barbara Ann. In the back row, you see Teddy Leon, Keith Edward, and Gatha.

It's fun to comare this picture with the ones in the slideshow. My how things change!!
This Picture was taken on the last day we were together as a family. When the picture was taken we drove Keith to the bus to return to the Navy and then overseas. The day Keith was released from the Navy, He sent me a wire, telling me he was out of the Navy and on his way home. Daddy died that day and we couldn't get in touch with him to tell him. Some of the aunts and uncles met every bus and train that came into Alamosa. He was home in time for the funeral. That was such a sad day. That is one of the reasons that we never talked about our parents. It was too painful/
It was a great experience growing up on a 60 acre farm with Mom, Dad, Keith,Me, Leon, Barbara, LaRue and Doris Faye. Our home was a six room house. There were 3 bedrooms on the North side of the home. On the South was a kitchen(on the West end), there was a dining room and living room combined on the East end. The boys had the bedroom on the West Mom and Dad in the middle and the girls on the East end. There was a place for a bathroom between the boys room and Mom and Dad's room. We raised chickens, pigs cows, horses, and sheep. Money was scarce, but with a big garden and the animals, we always had plenty of food.That was the end of the Great Depression. We would sit around the kitchen table in the evenings in the winter and visit. Those were good times.
It would be nice to have you tell us about the 60 acre farm. All I know is that Grandma died due to an accident when the PTO broke.
