Binner, Matt (page 441), a prosperous citizen of Greenfield Township,
engaged in agriculture, was born in the Duchy of Luxemburg, March 27,
1858, son of Andrew and Anna (Arens) Binner. His parents, who were natives
of the same country, resided there all their lives. He was there educated
and remained until arriving at the age of twenty years, when, in 1878, he
came to Minnesota, locating in Caledonia, Houston County. After remaining
there a year he came to Wabasha County, where he resided two years. He
then spent some time in Wabasha County, where he resided two years. He
then spent some time in traveling through the West, finally returning to
Wabasha County, and in 1888 he settled down to farming, buying 100 acres
in sections 8 and 9, Greenfield Township, which is his present farm. He
has erected all the buildings on it and put up fences, and is engaged in
mixed farming including the raising of garden truck for the market. In
addition, he breeds a high grade of hogs, keeping a full-blooded sire, and
is making satisfactory financial progress. For ten years he has served on
the school board of district No. 5. Mr. Binner was married January 28,
1884, to Bridget Weber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Weber, her parents
