Members of the Nevada Historical Society. Both were born in Oil City, Pennsylvania. In 1875 they came to Nevada. Settling first in Cornucopia, they later went to Tuscarora, and followed the printing trade until 1900. For some years they edited and published the "Tuscarora Times-Review," staying with the old camp until the end of its brilliant mining career. In 1901 they, together with Fred L. White, S. Case, and Major Dennis, purchased the Nevada State Journal, making a very great success of that splendid publication. Through its medium they were enabled to do a great deal for the upbuilding of Reno and their adopted State. In 1907 the "Journal" was sold. For the first time in their lives the brothers now choose different fields of work. Ernest became supervisor of the Nevada State Hospital for five years, during the incumbency of Dr. S. C. Gibson and Dr. John A. Lewis, giving the utmost satisfaction in his service. The leaders of the Democratic party in Nevada sought the advice and suggestions of Ernest Bingham in every campaign and he took an active part in the election of the late Senator Newlands in all his candidacies, as well as in the election of John Sparks as Governor. In 1915, he purchased the Fallen Standard, which he conducted in a most successful manner until his death on October 28, 1921 . He is survived by his widow and two daughters. Edward, after the sale of the Reno newspaper, went to Spokane, but returned to Nevada in 1912, when the lure of the Sagebrush State became too strong to resist. He settled in Fallon and entered the mercantile field. In 1917, he and his brother-in-law, Fred Grob, launched the Bank of Fallon, which they managed until it was consolidated with the Churchill County Bank, a short time before his death, which occurred May 13, 1922. A widow, son, and two daughters now survive him. They were citizens of whom the State can well be proud, always interested in assisting the advancement and growth of any worthy public enterprise, and this without the expectation of pecuniary reward. They were recognized leaders in political affairs, fearless and sincere.

WILLIAM ARTHUR KEDDIE, 1877-1921 Attracted to Reno, as are so many other young people because of the University of Nevada, he came to see the opportunities in Nevada for success and for service. From the beginning of his residence at the University in 1898, his was a name well known to all for his athletic superiority. He became successfully gridiron hero, baseball crack and track star. He was picked for the all-coast football team and he also held the University record for the quarter-mile dash. Mr. Keddie was one of the fastest riders of the famous Reno Wheelman's Club some twenty years ago, and the splendid collection of trophies now shown at the Museum of the Nevada Historical Society testifies to the many famous victories won from the various teams of the coast cities. In more than one instance Mr. Keddie saved the local wheelmen from defeat in relay races by his phenomenal spurt at the wind-up of a race. He is spoken of as " the young man who set the Coast afire with his remarkable bicycle riding." "The greatest of them all" and "the big size" were names by which he was commonly known in athletic circles. The fleetest men that ever mounted a wheel came to Reno only to meet defeat at the hands of the team of which this remarkable man was the bright and particular star. After leaving the University, Mr. Keddie engaged in survey work under contract with the Government, later becoming an engineer in the reclamation work at Fallen. As a surveyor he was very proficient. As an active Republican, Mr. Keddie was a member of both state and county central committees. In 1915 he was elected to the State Senate and in that year he secured the State Fair for Fallon, where it has been held continuously ever since. He achieved the honorable position of President pro tern of the Senate. Later he was mentioned for Governor, because of his excellent executive ability, business training, and keen sense of honor. But the management of the estate of former Senator Warren Williams monopolized his time. With the hope of reducing the time consumed in traveling from one property to another and with the old athletic instinct strong within him, Mr. Keddie became the foremost aerial enthusiast in the State. His wife, Ada Williams Keddie, was the first aviatrix in Nevada, having made several trips to San Francisco. It was while on a trial trip in a new plane that Mr. Keddie met his tragic death near Elko, Nevada, July 17, 1921. Mr. Keddie, during his legislative tenure, was a true friend of the Nevada Historical Society. In 1920, when committees for more active work were organized in the various counties, he became a member of the building committee for his section of the State. His early death cut him off from this and many other activities for the upbuilding of Nevada.
