   DANIEL M. BYNUM was born in Cass Township, Greene County, Ind., December 30,
1846. His father, John V. Bynum, was a native of North Carolina, and came with
his parents to Greene County, Ind., in 1818, he at that time being only four
years old. He was raised in a manner comparative with those early times, and in
about 1841 married Rebecca O'Neil, to which union nine children were born, five
of whom yet live. The father died August 5, 1876, but Mrs. Bynum is now living
on the old homestead. David M. Bynum received only a common schooling, and until
twenty years old assisted his parents on the home farm. May 25, 1872, he was
united in marriage with Miss Lois E. Gilbert, a native of Ohio, and by her is
the father of six children, only these—Haddie M., Mina O. and Huldah—yet living.
Mr. Bynum is one of the progressive men of Greene County, as well as one of its
substantial citizens. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., is a Democrat, and owns
a fine farm of 400 acres where he now resides, in Taylor Township. In 1876, he
was selected by his party as the nominee for County Sheriff, and, although the
county is Republican, was elected by a majority of twenty-two votes. In 1878, he
was re-elected by a majority of 231 ballots.
